mail to include packages, letters, and holiday cards addressed to 'Any Wounded Soldier' or 'A Recovering American Soldier' that ...
I got it back from the Post Office marked "Not Deliverable As Addressed"
I checked, and the address for Walter Reed is correct. Anyone else have this problem??
Maybe they have a PO Box, if you sent it to their physical address. Or because you didn't list a particular department to deliver to.
If you want someone to just deliver it to someone who maybe doesn't have family around I would address it to a particular department and put a letter inside.

Great idea. I think everyone should send at least one card to these American hero's. On another note. Thoughts and prayers to those soldiers and there families from the tragedy at Fort Hood.

At home in an alpha-male world
, Whose revival marks the 50th anniversary of its stormy birth.
Thompson’s examination of a bitter sectarian dispute in the Belfast shipyards was taken up in 1958 by actor James Ellis, then director of the Ulster Group Theatre. However, its content outraged the theatre’s board of directors, who turned it down. It eventually emerged two years later, played to capacity audiences on both sides of the Irish Sea and was adapted for radio and television. The writer Sam Hanna Bell later observed that “at last the unclean spirit of sectarianism had been dragged before the floodlights and examined with passion, pity and corrosive laughter”.
The play is an absolute gift to Lynch, whose own working-class background and politics have constantly shaped and informed his plays. And the production by his Green Shoot company has attracted a cast of fine actors, including Lalor Roddy, Tony Flynn, Frankie McCafferty, Michael Liebmann and Walter McMonagle.
A Request For Our Recovering American Soldiers at Cyril Huze Blog
A Recovering American Soldier: ”When doing your Holiday cards this year, take one card and send it to this address. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much would get.
When you are making out your card list this year, please include the following: A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 6900 Georgia Avenue, NW Washington,D.C. 20307-5001. If you approve, please pass it on”
Doug,
That sucks! Wonder if there is a list of names of Vets in the hospital? More than likely not. We work with a group here in Houston known as the “National Memorial Ladies” ( http://www.nationalmemorialladies.com/ ) who insure that no Vet, young or old, is ever buried alone. They also do a tremendous job of supporting our troops at the VA Hospitals here in South Texas ….. I will see if I can’t give them the Christmas cards so that the cards could be physically handed to each Vet. Sounds like a plan to me.
