Thanks for the address. oH, IT’S ON NOW1! I am sick of this stuff. He pushed the envelope too far and I hope he lives to regret it.

Just a reminder: None of the military hospitals will accept mail that is not addressed to a specific service member. Back in 2005 they used to deliver such mail but several wounded heroes received cards with nasty messages inside. So the hospitals decided “any servicemember” mail had to be opened and screened first, but then discovered that so much support mail was received they couldn’t keep up with it, even if ambulatory, recuperating soldiers were “recruited” to assist in the screening. (I met the young soldier referred to in the following link and I can confirm this isn’t an “urban legend”: http://www.theodoresworld.net/archives/2005/12/

My recommendation, to make an impact, is to send the Deputy Commander named above large manila envelopes filled with UNSEALED Christmas cards. Include a cover letter stating you know that security for the hospital is important so you’re asking him to distribute the cards after he reviews them.
