Doing my Christmas cards. When doing your Christmas cards this year, take a moment and send a card to this address: A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center 6900 Georgia Avenue, NW Washington , D.C. 20307-5001. Think of how many cards these wonderful people who have sacrificed so much would get. Got this from the ROC (Renee OConnor) forum. Sounds like a very good thing to me, so I thought I'd share. I'll post at Whoosh too. A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center 6900 Georgia Avenue, NW Washington , D.C. 20307-5001

Sorry Q. That isn't true:
We will begin accepting cards on November 2nd. Send in your cards to the address below, and please read the guidelines carefully!
Holiday Mail For Heroes P.O. Box 5456 Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
All cards must be received no later than Monday, December 7th. Cards received after this date will unfortunately be returned to the sender. This deadline ensures enough time to sort and distribute cards before the holidays.
I also came across these:

*sigh* Thanks Jox. Guess I should've done the research first. I posted your post at ROC; hope that's OK!

You're welcome, Q. Sure, post it wherever. I've seen the emails and posts before, and I'm sure I've seen it the last several years. It wasn't until I Googled to find the website to link to that I found the Snopes page and learned the sad truth. It saddens me that all those cards and postages were wasted. Maybe they forwarded them to the Red Cross? I hope they did something with them besides throw them away. :sad:
