Default Something we should all do.

A friend of my DH sent this to him. I thought we should all be involved.

When doing your Christmas Cards this year, take one card and send it to the address below. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these special people who have sacrificed so much would get. This is a great idea.



A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center

6900 Georgia Avenue NW

Washington, D.C. 20307-5001



If you approve, please pass it on.

Thanks
Suzi

Please help me keep this at the top.

This program has ended. You must address cards to a particular name or they will be returned or destroyed.

The address above is incorrect I just spoke with the info desk and was given this addy.

Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capital Heights, MD 20791

The info desk told me it must be postmarked by 12/7 or it will be destroyed.

Thanks to all of you for your support of our wounded soldiers in recovery. I hope everyone will send a card. They are so appreciated! Most of the card and gift programs have fallen by the wayside with the crisis of our economy. A card is something everyone can afford...it's a stamp! The card can be that from a child or something cute just scribbled onto construction paper but it will always bring a smile to some soldier. Pray for peace and the safe return of our soldiers. Happy Holidays. Send the card today! Holiday Mail for Heroes
PO Box 5436
Capital Heights, MD 20791
Hugs to you all, Reesey

Just to confirm the details:

Sending a card to "A Recovering American Soldier" . . . this will NOT be delivered.

Sending a card to "Holiday Mail for Heroes", P.O. Box 5456, Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456 . . . these will be delivered. This is a program sponsored in part by the American Red Cross. The cards need to be post-marked by 12/7/09. (Check out the American Red Cross website for details.)

Come on and send a card . . . tell a hero thanks for their sacrafice and your freedoms, and wish them a wonderful holiday!

Oh! *startled look* Thanks for pointing that out! I had thought "postmarked by" but no, you're right. They've got to have it by tomorrow!! Well, definitely next year!
