I had the privilege of meeting Joshua Sparling's father and brother at yesterday evening's FReep. (History of Joshua here.) They came down to meet us, and Joshua was kind enough to send some candy and other goodies down for our supportive vigil. More details will be in the weekly AAR, but I wanted to touch on one point.
Although the response to Joshua's predicament has been absolutely overwhelming, they have only received six cards - total - from Michigan. Why is that such a big deal? It's Joshua's home. And he's been featured in several newspapers, including Lansing's publication.
I just wanted to put out a friendly request to any Michigan FReepers to send Joshua a card - a belated Christmas card, a get-well or thank-you note, or a simple letter. Just to let him know his home state is aware and appreciative of his family's sacrifices.
Thinking of including a phone card? NO!! :-) His family said they have been completely overwhelmed by phone cards. They're very grateful, but don't need anymore. If you want to include something, FReepmail me for one idea. Thank you for your support, and thanks to JimRob for providing us this amazing forum.

I sent mine well before christmas...........
Dittos!
Our troops should never be 'welcomed' home by a card like that from that creepy flake.
Send him a real Welcome Home card.
A thank-you bump!
Thanks for the pizza Friday! Nice to meet you, and hope to see you out there again soon.
Nice graphic.
If only you could get that cloud and others like him to permanently stay above the Pinkos.
Well, most of them do already have dark clouds constantly hanging over the heads. How hard could it be to add some rain and lightning??
We need to bring this up at the next Halliburton special ops meeting.
Good idea. And I know VP Cheney and Karl Rove have their dreaded hurricane machine. I bet we could borrow it for a weekend.
I'm in.
I heard that Joshua Sparling will be on Sean Hannity's show today. Listen if you can. I don't have more details to provide and won't be able to listen myself.
ping- Joshua to be on Hannity's show today. Thank you to all the fine Michigan FReepers for your concern for the Sparling family.

Thanks for trying to notify me, but wasn't able to listen.
