"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 think these guys would be the first to share with a fellow patient who hasn't received any cards or letters yet.

Every soldier I talk to says that he is ok but what about... and tries to direct me into helping someone else that in his view is more in need. Selflessness.

Coop I have the Christmas stockings ready to send out to you. I am sending them via UPS you should get them Friday.

I feel sorry for the nurse on that ward , I put in Nerf footballs, yoyos, paddle-balls, all kinds of candies that I am sure the nurses will frown upon and playing cards.
