Send A Recovering Soldier A Card

A message from Kathy T.

From my LaVergne blog… If you’re mailing Christmas cards this year, here’s one more you could send:

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

Go here instead. Kathy T. made a clarification about it all:

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

Thanks for straightening out, John “The Man” Carney.

The soldiers didn’t ask to be over there. It’s 41 pennies to send a nice thought. She makes a good point and she and I are on the same page here.

If you are so inclined, next time you are at the post office, send out a card. Letters from citizens meant a lot of my grandfather when he was serving in Saipan. I’m sure it would mean a lot to a recovering soldier injured during the war.

And, heck, it doesn’t have to be Christmas to do this.

Thanks.

    I keep hearing that the post office won’t deliver this type of mail. If the Red Cross is handling it, won’t they deliver?

    Excellent idea though. :)

    I’m thinking the Red Cross will get them there, or at least I hope.
