I wrote a Christmas Card to a wounded soldier...

Just to say thanks...and it felt really good. I just finished reading "Dear John" and I felt like it was the very least I could do...

If you're interested:

A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center 6900 Georgia Avenue NW; Washington, D.C. 20307. If we pass this on, think of how many cards these wonderful special people would get


I'm sure some of you have seen this on FB but usually I never do these things....today I took 5 seconds to do this and I smiled. These soldiers are the reason we're FREEEEEEEEEEE!

Thanks for posting this.

Do you just write Dear Soilder inside the card?

I think this might be a good way to use the extra cards I have around my house.

Just so you know this is a hoax. These letters will not get to a soldier and will be returned back to you.

The address you should send cards to is:

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

They might reach a soldier but the other address will notChat Icon
