Boys and girls at Grace Academy in Prosper, Tex., spent most of last Friday making homemade Christmas cards for bedridden veterans at the VA hospital in Dallas.
Fourth-grader Gracie Brown was especially proud of her card, hoping it would “make their day because their family might live far away, and they might not have somebody to celebrate Christmas with.”
“I’d like them to know they’ve not been forgotten and somebody wanted to say thank you,” Gracie told MyFoxDFW.com.
Gracie’s card read, “Merry Christmas. Thank you for your service.” It also included an American flag.

Highly **indoctrinated** chaplins!
Sitting here chuckling! Yes, indeed! One of your guys did make a name for himself!
The Nanny State Run Riot — individuals can accept or reject cards themselves without an intermediary. That “justification” is pure nonsense. Off with Milligan’s head!
They can't even use the English language. They speak New Age doublespeak.
This Sh*t has gone too far.
Well it's a little late for any cards but:
Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah!
Peace on Earth, Good will towards men.
Actually Howie, the little Baby Jesus is mentioned in the US Constitution.
Sad that the Army has Equal Opportunity officers.
Merry Christmas!
I feel like I wasted 20 years of my life defending this pathetic country.
That was a comment on facebook, just reposting... and btw am not Howie but I do his FR ping list. Only wish I had Howie’s $ :)
Seems a little harsh.
The guy is just following orders from above. And if he’s the one who quits because he doesn’t like the order, they’ll find someone who will do it.
