I noticed the response to a thread yesterday about sending cards/letters to wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Hospital. Many FReepers were interested in doing this, so I called and got an address : [also phone: (202) 782-2071]
American Red Cross at Walter Reed Army Medical Center
OIF/OEF Soldiers
6900 Georgia Av., NW
Washington, D.C. 20307

Update from thread:
A special letter might be sent to the soldier discussed on Fox & Friends this morning.
I did not get his name but he just got to Walter Reed last week and received ONE letter from someone writing in a child's printing.
Among other things it told him to die.
The soldier has the card on the wall of his room. I know FReepers can counter this despicable action with some of our own letters.
I emailed Fox & Friends requesting his address. Will let you all know when I get the address.

That is the address of a soldier that received one card. That Card written in a child's hand wished him death. That card was the only one that he received in the week that he has been there.
Brian Kilmeade mentioned this on Fox & Friends during the first hour of the show at 6am.this morning.
I called Walter Reed and was told that the patients appreciated calling cards especially at Christmas time.
I am sending him a card with several calling cards to distribute to other patients in his ward.
Anyone else interested in doing the same for others at Walter Reed? Call and get a soldier's name to send a card. The number is (202)782-3501.
I am sending a get well card, a Christmas card and $240.00 in phone cards for Joshua to keep and/or distribute to his buddies. Anyone want to match me and send some to other soldiers at Walter Reed?

I sent Joshua a card. That kid and his helper are scum sucking rats. The kid had to know what he was doing was mean.
