You can borrow my thunder, just not my lightning. :)
Thanks for all you do for the troops. I'm proud to call you a friend and you do make a difference.
You may mail notes to Joshua at the following address, or you're welcome to send them to me (FReepmail me) for personal delivery.
PFC Joshua Sparling
Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20307-5001
And kudos to California and Georgia - those two states were mentioned by Mr. Sparling as having sent the most cards their way. Nicely done!
Ping
Bump! ;-)
Get your mother on the move.
Leofl Here!!!
I took had the privilige of meeting Joshua Sparling's Father. Please send a card or a letter to this heroes family. His father was an absolute "Old School" Gentlemen and his brother was also a pleasure.
And you have a chance to join the DC and Maryland Freepers on a Friday here at Walter Reed, IT will warm your heart. These are fantastic folks!!!!!!!!!!!
Also it will do your funny bone good to see the Code Pinkos getting the one finger salute from the folks passing by.
Leofl............Texas Freeper
Patriot hero Bump!
From Georgia with love!
Coop, I think you can temporarily change your 'Location' and post an announcement on the Michigan board...
Thanks for the address. Card is on the way.
We sent one and I've tried to rally my email list again under a "Let's Roll" plea.
Thanks for the post.

What else did Mr. Sparling say?
A card will be in the mail on Monday.
Please send him a get well card or other communication of your love, prayers, and support as explained in Coop's initial post at the beginning of the thread.
So far, he has gotten few messages from Michigan supporting him, despite the large number of great patriots and FReepers there. Thus, I reluctantly, ping all of Michigan to remedy this problem.
War-wounded hero Joshua Sparling now lies in Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC fighting to keep his leg and to try to recover as best he can. Yet, he had previously received a Christmas card from a leftist telling him to die.
Coop, Landry Fan, PleaDeal and others of the DC Chapter have spearheaded efforts to counter the vicious hate mail from the leftist, both by helping Joshua and also by encouraging other wounded troops at Walter Reed.
Landry Fan, a true angel of mercy, has met with Joshua personally as described on her great blog.
Many of us DC Chapter members and fellow patriots had the honor of meeting with Joshua's Dad and brother when they joined as we countered blood dancing Code Pinkos outside Walter Reed in very cold and breezy conditions last Friday. A skirmish of that struggle was described here, the full report on the event is pending.
Please pray for Joshua and all our brave troops and make sure that the troop-hatred of the left is countered by your own cards and letters letting Joshua know that Michigan cares.
MI bump
I must have been one of the six! I saw his story on Tony Snow's website and sent one right away (early December). I was just sorry I was too broke to include a gift card or send something to cheer him up, like a handheld game. In hindsight, maybe I should send a box of homemade chocolate chip cookies!
Can they accept that kind of thing from strangers?
Thank you so much for doing this. I am from MI and I guess I was one of the six! I can't wait to see how MI responds after your ping.
Thanks for the ping Coop. A card will be going out tomorrow.
Aside: What's the latest on Joshua's legs, Coop?
Thanks for the ping. A card will be on the way tomorrow.
