GREAT IDEA!!

When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to
this address. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how
many cards these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much
would get.

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, please pass it on.

Awesome. One thing - we have something like this in our town and they ask that you don't send cards with glitter. Apparently it can be a problem with soldiers recovering from wounds. GREAT idea.

I am sorry to say that such mail posted to Walter Reed will NOT be delivered due to security concerns:

However, you can send holiday cards to service personnel via the Red Cross "Holiday Mail for Heroes" campaign:
