Send A Christmas or Hanukkah Card To A Soldier
I know this topic is not camping related but I think it is important so I wanted to share it with you. Many of us are now officially in “holiday mode.” Thanksgiving is just a few days away and Christmas is only a month away.
In the spirit of the holiday season of giving…………
When you are doing your Christmas or Hanukkah cards this year, please take a few minutes to send a card to a soldier at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C. to let him or her know how much you appreciate the sacrifices they have made for the United States.
Here’s the address:
A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
UPDATE ON DECEMBER 7, 2008
I apologize for posting this information. I just found out it’s not accurate; but instead some sort of “joke” somebody thought would be funny. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center only accepts mail addressed to specific soldiers. Any cards without a specific name are returned. I am so sorry for posting this.
To send a message to a soldier, people are encouraged to post messages on To Our Soldiers
For other ways to support our military personnel check out information on the U.S. Postal Website or visit the USO website for information on donating a package of needed items to our soldiers.
A big thank you to “c suton” for calling this to my attention; and again - my apologies.
