"Dear Joshua, I hope you die!" -- J. Sparling (Walter Reed patient)

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

WHOOPS --- HERE IS THE ORIGINAL THREAD

[doug from upland]

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL THREAD ABOUT SENDING A CARD FROM THE CONVENIENCE OF YOUR COMPUTER ---- A REAL CARD, NOT AN -CARD

[GOPJ]

It's not that hard to write like a kid. Dollars to donuts it was written by some college activist moron.

You're probably right. But one thing's for sure - it's time to use the "hate speech" laws. Liberals might have written them to protect PC speech, but if ever there was a reason to use them, it's now...

[eureka!]

P.S Card to Josh going out today...

[WV Mountain Mama]

I just filled out a card for him. Thanks!

[samiam1972]

This is just disgusting! We homeschool so I'm going to have the kids start stamping some cards today. I liked the idea of sending lots to be distributed to all of the soldiers. I'll make it to the post office tomorrow to send the large bundle. I won't mind standing in line for this!

[ArrogantBustard]

The hosts were also wondering if some adult from DU did it.

Point of order: The only adults over in the DUmpster are lurking FReepers.

The leftists progress from "I hope you die" to "capital punishment" for dissenters, as they gain political power.

[processing please hold]

God bless you, and thank you.

bttt for the troops at Walter Reed.

[Coop]

May be the most disgusting thing I have ever seen, but instead of channeling even more hate for the likes of this miserable human I'll just up my donations for soldiers friends and I are adopting for Xmas.

Excellent way to channel your anger, and the only way we can truly fight back. This evil little stunt is going to seriously backfire on the anti-war crowd.

[mware]

Bump, keeping the story alive.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Bump!

Just despicable... I'm cubicle-bound today, but will get a Christmas card out tonight or latest tomorrow a.m. Thank you for this heads-up.

[samiam1972]

This is not a homeschool thread but thought it might be a great opportunity this season for doing a good deed. I'm passing it on to you to consider giving it a ping to your list. :o)

[StoneColdTaxHater]

Card onn the way! The ones that need to die are the ones who sent that card to this young man!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Catherine..
Sad PING!

I don't dare go to the DUmp. I visited that site some years ago, but even for a 50+ military male, it was too much for me.
