A Great Idea for Christmas!!!! - Orchid Board

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

I got this request in an email and love the idea so I posted it here. It is such a small thing to do and will do so much for our men and women who won't be home this holiday season.

Thanks Susanne.

I will surely do that. Why wait until Christmas? Thanksgiving sounds like a perfect time to send a card with my thanks.

Another great idea!
I'll be getting a few Thanksgiving cards out this week

Thanks

The following link is what I've found concerning the Christmas card suggestion I posted above.

Unfortunately, the cards will not be accepted for the reasons stated in the link:

This REALLY got my blood boiling so I researched the thought a bit further and found this:
