"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

I hope you'll consider joining us this Friday evening outside of Walter Reed. Info here

[Coop]

I'll make the same offer as on the other thread. If anyone would like to send something personally, FReepmail me for my address and I'll be glad to deliver it to the Mologne House (a lovely transitional location for wounded Walter Reed troops and their families).

[mware]

Bump for Joshua.

[Coop]

For those not aware, here's an example of the low levels to which the left will stoop.

another bump for all those in Walter Reed.

Just your average Berzerkley graduate.

I'm going to put $5 in it, too. It ain't much but if a few more can throw in some money, he can have a real nice dinner.

I am pinging you, you need to read this, then decide to ping your own list. I remember sometime last year, when Race Bannon needed our help, everyone was pinging every ping list on FR.

 

Isn't this one of those situations? Lets flood Walter Reed with cards letters and gifts.

[mware]

Agreed but lets see that everyone gets letters. Sure would like to send some Christmas Stockings to the guys and gals.

[Coop]

There are two fronts in this war: the obvious combat front against terrorists and their networks, and the more ambiguous front against the hate-filled "blame America first" crowd.

Our troops are fighting the combat front. It's up to us to pick up the slack on the home front.

[Coop]

You may send them to me, if you wish. I will guarantee delivery. FReepmail me for more details.

[Jen from Tn.]

on the way!

See post 22... 

 

Here is the list I just received from Coop in a freepmail of wanted items

 

Here is a partial list of wanted items:
toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap...)
calling cards (to call buddies in Iraq and Afghanistan)
dvds, books, cds
current magazines
disposable cameras
t-shirts, clothes
candy, snacks
cigarettes
anything else you think they’d enjoy

 

I posted, lets flood Walter Reed. I am sending as many cards as me and my family can sign, and leaving them un-adressed, so they can just be handed out to all the wounded  there. Coop is gonna get a care package, and Walter Reed is going to get a large envelope with dozens of cards.

FYI

[GOPJ]

Some adult liberal got his kid to hand-copy a hate letter.

If we must have laws against "hate speech" then now's the time to use those laws. Track down the liberal who had his kid write this and throw the book at him.

[RobFromGa]

truly descpicable. you have Freepmail.

What the HECK??? There are some REAL sickos out there. LAdies and gents, can we PLEASE send this young hero some Get Well and Thank You Cards -- I'd love to hear that his wall is covered with them by the end of this week. Let's get off our butts and DO THIS!! Can I please get a shout out from the peeps who will participate?? Yes, it will cost you 37 cents to mail a letter. And another dollar or so for a card. And little gas money when you go to purchase your card. Don't you think it's worth it???

[BIGLOOK]

On board.

Some adult liberal...

 

Just for future reference, "adult liberal" is an oxymoron.
