Wounded Soldier Holiday Cards (revised)

Correction: looks like this is an urban myth and cards won't be delivered:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When you are making out your Christmas card list this year,
please include the following on your list:

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

My friend (via Larry 'Booter' Olmsted) Gerard Connors is an NYPD officer, and sent me the suggestion. He remembers getting cards this way in the days and weeks after 9/11 and says they really brightened his day, especially the ones from kids.

If you like the idea, please pass it on.

Thanks, Jim
