When doing your Christmas cards, please take one and send it to this address:

A Recovering American Soldier
**MODERATOR REMOVED Address - see my post below for correct address** (also note the deadline is next Monday, December 7th)

A friend of mine verified this with a former patient at Reed Medical Center. He was in the hospital last year at the holidays and he said that receiving these cards really lifted his (and his fellow soldier's) spirits. :santaclaus:

I am not deleting the above post because there IS a program in place for this type of thing BUT, there are two caveats here: (I have removed the address above since it is incorrect however so read the posted links below)

First ~ DO NOT send anything to the above address because it will NOT be delivered!

Second ~ The deadline is December 7th so there are only three days left to get them sent out and postmarked.

Here is an excerpt regarding the above address:
