"Dear Joshua, I hope you die!" -- J. Sparling (Walter Reed patient)
Fox & Friends ^ | 12/5/05 | Mware

This story was reported on Fox and Friends this morning.

Joshua Sparling 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.

Joshua Sparling

Walter Reed Army Medical Center

6900 Georgia Avenue N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20307-5001

Update: Since Joshua will undoubtedly be overwhelmed by America's response, please consider sending (instead of or in addition to Joshua) cards to these find troops:

Excerpt from Brian K. at FNC:
If you have the time, please try and include the others I met along with Col. North and Col. Hunt at Walter Reed:

Capt. James Ollinger
Sgt. Zavian Simspon
Specialist Brian Radke
Specialist Jason Braase
Sgt. David Nevins
Sgt. Jose Ramos
Cpl. Todd Bishop
Sgt. Ryan Donnelly
Sgt. Eva Diane Cochran

What a wonderful card Star! Give your son a hug for me.

I delivered a batch of home made cards from an elementary class from NY a week ago Friday. I just received word another batch is on the way.

I believe I will be receiving a bunch from a western state within the week. Let's keep it up ... it does make a difference!

Will make it easier for folks in the Mailroom at Walter Reed.

I couldn't help but laugh at this -- my guess is that there will be a well worn trail to this hero's room! At least I hope that's the case!

Understandable, but we ARE winning. Ask yourself -- would we have even heard of this despicable event during Vietnam? I doubt it.

Well, I just heard that Liberal Pimp John Kerry on "Face the Enema" bad mouthing our troops just as he did during Vietnam yet again. Telling how we are breaking into Iraqi homes and terrorizing women and children.

This man is a disgrace and should be censured and thrown out of the Senate for a diatribe like that. I almost put my foot through the TV when I heard that garbage. If I had a son or daughter over there, I'd personally call this rat out on it.

Bastards, all of them. "We support the troops but blah, blah, blah..........."

"It looked like a kid wrote it..."

Somebody else may have made this observation already, but that is actually what an adult DUer's handwriting looks like.

Those people are repulsive. At least now they are being honest. They don't support the war and they, certainly, do NOT support our troops. I absolutely question their patriotism! I will send a real Christmas card to as many soilders as I can, as well as, adopting a few with Rush 24/7. Thanks for the thread, I saw it on Fox and Frieds this morning, but was unable to write the adress down.
