I received the same e mail that you did, Tressy, but the friend that I got mine from lives in Illinois, and you don't know her -- so if this e mail is floating around, it may be a wonderful "Christmas Card" day for many of our Heros that are out there for us all so we can enjoy the freedom of the Holiday season.  I plan to do this when I send my Christmas cards this year.

Unfortunately, Walter Reed is not accepting any cards addressed to  "any injured soldier," and the post office is now returning all mail addressed to "Any Injured Soldier"

If you would like to send a card go to

Pick your card and a saying and it will be included in a care package to the troops.
