"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

BTW, can we send $5 or $10 in cash, or would that not be a good idea?

To Joshua? Sure, why not? Others have. Or you could send it directly to veteran-related groups like Freedom Alliance, Operation Uplink, or others. Thanks for caring!

Actually, what Crazy Backpack Man said was it doesn't matter if the flag drags on the ground - it's better than wiping your behind with it (inferring that's what we do by supporting the troops and war effort). But he got a little too worked up and his true colors came out when I asked if he had served for that flag and he screamed, "No, I'm not a murderer!"

I was looking at the number of views/replies. It's refreshing.

Finding a hotel down there during the Holidays would be impossible, I'll wager!

Naaahhh. I'm sure you could find a room to suit your needs. Any of us locals would be glad to assist.

I have not served. My tagline honors my son and cousin.

You may not be wearing uniforms, but it sounds to me like you and your wife are both proudly serving. And I thank you!

I've sent him a card. The thing that sent him the hateful card has a sickness caused by extreme adherence to leftist causes. It can only be described as mental illness.

The word DIE at the bottom of the letter. Does it look like they made the words in the form of an evergreen tree.

This is just so sick, it breaks my heart that any child could send such a letter.
