Default PLEASE HELP... Cards needed for WOUNDED TROOPS back from WAR

Hello,
I am a Military wife that is trying to put together a Cards for wounded troops just back from the WAR. I live and work at WALTER REED HOSPITAL where the troops are all sent to be fixed after all they have done for us I think we could all get together and get them cards.I would love for you all to help me I cant do it by myself.I know people have cards going to the war but I would like to have help doing this one for guys and gals hurt in the war and are hear in the DC area for all the treatment until they can go home or back to there units. I know we all have cards or fronts we can turn easy to cards that we dont use or are ret. and the demos cant use so they can do a great thing.PLEASE HELP ME.
Let me know what you think,
Monica
PS I am looking at Thank you cards,glad your home,just because,general cards , birthday because we would have no idea when there birthdays are these would need to be blank with a note for them to have a card to send to someone they love..You could right a little note and tell them what state you are from ECT.I think it would be great.
I wish you could all come see this is a sad place and this would make some troops so happy to know someone away from here cares and they are more then just a name on a chart.
Send to Monicas cards for troops
9225 SOLDIER RD.
FORT BELVOIR,VA 22060
ALSO I have had some questions about the cards Please if you want to right a note that would be GREAT if not just sigh your name and your state.Blank carde will be left at the nurses station for the guys and gals to use to send home if they would like.If you want to make a letter/note on your puter to put in the card that is great I will copy it off adn put it in all your cards and they could reuse the card if they would like that is killing 2 birds with one stone a thank you and a card. what ever you want to do is just great.
ALSO they do not need to be man or woman cards funny or silly will be great too.whatever for a girly card would be great too. it is not a really picky thing just a lobor of love from Americans.....
P.S. I got a box today and Birthday cards are great.She sent them blank so the TROOPS could have something to send home That was a great idea.I need all the help with theis I can get THANKS SO MUCH.
ALSO IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IF YOU SEND AN ENVELOPE YOU NOT SEAL IT!! DUE TO THE ANTHRAX NOTHING SEALED GETS IN OR OUT LIKE THAT>it is sad but that is the way it is in this day and age now.

Monica,
I'm new to this site, so please forgive me for asking. I'd love to help. But, are you looking for cards for others to sign and give them, or should we write the messages in ourselves? I'm guessing that more manly cards would be better?

Default Dah!

I forgot I could post here. I am a newbie. I will send what I told you and will continue. You let me know if you are running short and if and when you want me to stop. I make a lot, like I said, 8 at a time. So hope this helps. And again, God bless you for asking. :lol:

I have never done this before. How does it work? I send you a card with a note inside and you give it to someone? I send blank cards...just with my name and state? I don't think I would know what to write? But I would love to send you some cards.

Default Cards for wounded troops

Hello,
I went to the box today adn I was SHOCKED I was so excited that there was a box I had no idea that it was a box of cards I thought it was my sons birthday gift or something.I got it inside and looked I will tell you I sat in my floor and just cried.It was so nice to see that someone else cared too.I was just taken back more then words can say.THANK YOU FOR ALL WHO ARE HELPING ME WITH THIS.I am taking all the card fronts I have and I am getting and I have some girls that are helping me make them cards.It really will make you feel good.I will be next week taking the first batch to them.WOW I thank you all for your help.Like I said if you cant sit and make cards it is OK send old fronts of sets you cant use and I will turn them into cards for you.Right a note and I will scan it and put it in your cards so they have a great card and a note.If you want to send Holiday cards I will hold them aside adn collect them for Christmas.I am just overwhelmed with the love that has come over my home for being a part of something so wonderful. Keep them comming and I will keep making them also.They dont have to be the best work just love in them.I thank you all so much.
God Bless you all and keep you and yours safe,
Monica
