Holiday Mail For Heroes
I received an email with the wonderful thought to send Christmas cards to wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Medical Center. I recalled hearing in the past that it was not a good idea to send cards to anonymous soldiers, so I went to their website and found the following.
Holiday cards should be mailed to:
Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD. 20791-5456
All cards must be postmarked no later than Dec. 10. Cards should not be mailed or delivered to Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
While doing your holiday cards this year why not do one extra and send it to a soldier? I know I will. I have yet to do my cards, but I bought them yesterday and will send this very special card out today.
With all the sacrifices they make, I feel the very least I can do is to wish a soldier a wonderful holiday and thank them for what they do for us.
This is a wonderful idea! I always get teary-eyed whenever the soldiers come on the news or commercials to send a holiday greeting to their family members. So touching. This has to be a tough time of year for them…and their families.

I think I will do. I just went to the post office today to get some stamps. I remember my Dad would get happy to get mail from us when he was stationed away from up for a awhile. Military life can be lonely.
