"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

Are they the kids that are homeschooled???

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.

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.

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.
