If you are interested, could you note down your interest here, noting sender, receiver or both.
PM Me your addresses! Also PM your other friends here at Bettermost as well.
I think this will be great fun!

I Did. Thanks

I also thought this would be a good Idea too.
I got this in an e-mail and regardless of our political views we all support our brave men and women who are fighting for us.
I wanted to pass this along because I thought it would be nice.

A Great Idea!!!
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

This is a really terrific idea!  The past few years I've been a slacker about sending holiday cards, but mayhap I'll improve.  Thank you, Richard, for posting the address for Walter Reed - a worthy cause, indeed.

Thanks Rich for letting me know you got it. And thanks for thinking about the people who are fighting for us. I will definitely include them. It is beyond nice, it is a very special thought.

Rich,
            This is a spectacular idea.  I would definitely like to be a part of this.   I would like to be a sender and a receiver.   Thanks also for the address of the Walter Reed Med Center.  I will be sending my regards letting them know I support them.

Well folks we livein some strange times!
I should have checked out the info about Walter Reed before I posted it!
Somone smarter than me did  ;D and this is the deal!

YOu can't send a card, letter or package addressed to any soldier, any wonded soldier, any rcovering soldier, etc etc, etc.

Here is what Walter Reed says!

But fear not! There are other things we can do!!!!

Here are some links that will fill you in on how you can still send your love and support to our brave fighting men and women.
