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
My kids finally finished the cards! They will be mailed tomorrow!
I sure wish that Brian would do a follow up on the Joshua story.
Yes, they are homeschooled. It is our first year and it has it's moments! They are 5 and 7 (6 week old will have to wait!) and did a really sweet job on the cards. Good enough!
I was wondering about an update, too. Are they being flooded with cards? I hope so!!
I am going to send off an e-mail to Fox & Friends and ask Brian if he could give up an update on Joshua. I suspect Walter Reed has been flooded with cards and good wishes.
sorry to be late to the party - i scanned but didn't see - is the itinial list of names still good and what is the physical address to send cards to other unkown soldiers - thanks
Absolutely!
I hope they all have a very Merry Christmas!
Yes. I'll FReepmail you with details.
Still coordinating with the Red Cross. Will keep you posted.
Our Boy Scout troop sent 160 cards. Some of their comments of gratitude written in the cards made me tear up. I hope they bless our soldiers.
SOB, how the hell did they find him out. BTW the MaysLanding VFW is about 15 miles from me. I will have to send them a special donation for their action.
Will you also FRmail me details?
We are presently writing two soldiers in Iraq but would love to write to some of the wounded heros.
Thanks!

The writer has already been exposed. The twerp is a Ted Rall wannabe. Turns out the twerp also has white supremacist ties.
The supposed author also has a history of saying absolutely anything to tick people off, so I'm not 100% convinced it was him.
Ping, address is right at the article's beginning. Cheers!
Ping for my spot.
