Something good to do for Christmas

[chuam]

When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include the following:


A Recovering American soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue,NW
Washington,D.C. 20307-5001



If you approve of the idea, please pass it on to your e-mail list. (Which I did) Hope you do also. These guys need all of the good cheers and will that we can give them.

Chuam,

It's a great idea however, due to security concerns any mail sent addressed as "Any soldier/Recovering Soldier etc" will be returned to sender. It has to be addressed to a specific person.

However Pitney Bowes has offered to help. They will screen the mail and then forward it to the Red Cross for distribution.

The address to send mail to recovering troops is:

We Support You During Your Recovery
c/o American Red Cross
PO Box 419
Savage, MD 20763-0419

Let's not forget about those who are deployed. To send something to them there are the following:

You can log onto www.usocares.org and make a donation to send a care package to deployed troops.

Xerox has a website ( www.letssaythanks.com ) of postcards designed by kids that you can send to deployed troops.

Thanks for letting me know. I sent the updated info out.

I'm surprised they even let you send "Christmas" cards. What if a Muslim sees it and is offended? He / She might suddenly turn terrorist.
