"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

Good job!! And thanks!!

[Mr. Silverback]

No jumping here, and you're right to ask that question. But it's probably true. If not, he'd have to forge it, and what are the chances he could do so unobserved? Plus, this is something I wouldn't put past members of the Left, until recently (before it was taken down with extreme prejudice by hackers) there was a website called "oppose the troops" that made fun of wounded and dead soldiers. Heck, for all we know the Code Pink jerks who protest out in front of Walter Reed might have sent it.

But here's another angle: Even if we were being conned, the net result of the con is that a response of thousands of letters would be a boost to troop morale.

I'm sure it's true, and if I'm wrong, there's little or no downside.

[StarCMC]

Yep. The kind who call our heroes of today terrorists. Were there any ketchup stains on the card??

[StarCMC]

YOU ROCK!!! THANK YOU!!!

Sorry your dinner went kaput! I love beef stroganoff...haven't made it in years, though. I like it with rice.

Good for you getting mad and getting stuff done. I wish we all could go visit those heroes like Star wants to!
