A quick thought about remembering our injured soldiers

As Christmas draws closer (yes, I realize Thanksgiving isn't over yet), I thought this would be a good idea to share with everyone. Add the following address to your Christmas (Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, or whatever) card list. This is an easy way to share your joy with someone who could really use some joy in their life.

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

We do these meme's and awards and pass them on and get people to participate in that sort of thing. I was just thinking it would be really great if we could get something like this going around and get everyone to send at least one (prefearbly more) card to a soldier who really deserves to receive some mail from the citizens of the country he has served so bravely.

So if you are going to send out a card, please copy and paste this into your blog and ask others to join you. Me? I've written this address on the front inside cover of my address book so that I will remember to send a card every year and hopefully every holiday. Maybe even for no reason at all other than to say "Thank You" and let these men know we are thinking of them and thankful for all they have done.

Thanks for the information Linda. Apparently someone got their cards returned so they recommend sending it to this address,
Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
To rush delivery, mailers should not send care packages, money or any inserts, including glitter.

Have a beautiful day.
