Already done. I sent Christmas cards with "get well wishes" to all on this list - I hope they get THOUSANDS of cards!! ShootingUSA has this on its site, too.

Ping!

I believe someone is working on getting names of Sailors and Marines at Bethesda who would also appreciate some cards. I forget who it was, or I'd ping them to this new thread.

Cards are ready to go out tomorrow; just informed hubby, who is a former Marine of 2 tours of Vietnam, that we might spend the day with the troops at Walter Reed, will call them and find out what we have to do...or maybe we might go before Christmas to visit with them....

God Bless 'em....and God Bless America....

What a great idea.

Sewing is too time and labor-intensive for me, and I don't knit.

However, there is a great project that anyone can do if they can cut and tie knots.

Take about 2 yds of two different patterns or solids of fleece fabric. Cut 3 inch cuts into both layers of fleece all around. Tie each cut together to form a fringe. The result is a beautiful, warm fringed blanket. Send or take to your local VA medical center, Walter Reed or Bethesda Naval Hospital.

An easy, inexpensive way to send warm wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Kids can get involved as well.
