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
Have you seen this? Disturbing at best, this sicko who is taunting an injured person recuperating in the hospital. I hope they're treating this card sending, cowardly psycho as the criminal he/she is.
It's disgusting isn't it!
I'm so bothered by this. The thank you card went out today. The Christmas card will go out first thing tomorrow. As well as a card for Eva. I think Joshua will need a personal assistant to handle his new correspondence! What do you think? I say fingerprint that letter and envelope and let junior have it.
Support the patients at Walter Reed. Counter Code Pink's cruelty Friday nights at 6:30 pm. See Walter Reed after action reports for details. If you live or work near DC, or can drive, fly, or swim there please commit to showing the troops we're proud of them.
From the un-friggin'- believable department.
Speak of the devil...did anyone just catch the piece on FOX News about the teacher who was showing her third-grade students how to write "anti-war letters"?
People...do you STILL think this was an adult that sent this card?
Cards on the way. Thanks for letting me know.
thanks for the link to his brother in laws blog. I am sure he knows by now how many people do really care.
Don't forget that the anthrax letters used childlike writing.
Someone with Buckhead-like analytic skills should look for a connection.
I just forwarded this to my wife's with the question if her Marine Moms group can send Joshua some encouragement.
(I have not served. My tagline honors my son and my cousin.)
Bump
May God bless and keep those in our military!
Thanks very much for all your support!
I might have a snow day tomorrow but it will be worth it getting up early. Bet he mentions the blogs.

Let us know. (I live in Phoenix. We never have snow
days. The last time snow actually stuck on the ground
was 1938, the year my mother moved here, several years
before I was born. She was a nurse. All of the patients
were trying to look out the window to see the snow.
She was running them back to bed. "You all [she was from
Oklahoma] act as if you've never seen snow." Guess what.
LOL
It's appalling that someone would use and brainwash a child in that manner. I don't know whether it was caused by a parent or a raidcal teacher.

I guess it's a child. It would not surprise me to
learn that it's an adult trying to hide his or her
hatred and ignorance.
Heartbreaking, but we'll show 'em we love 'em.
These guys (and gal) are added onto my Christmas card list.
Excellent!
Operation Smother
Done and done X 10. A personalized card with thankyou's and God Bless and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays sent to each of these brave American soldiers.
