A Great Gift For The Wounded Troops


From Hugh Hewitt.com, this is a great idea for those
wishing to do something for the troops over the
holiday season:


Finally, from a naval officer I respect a great deal,
an e-mail on how to aid wounded troops in the two
weeks left before Christmas:

“Yellow ribbons tied around trees and red, white and
blue
stickers on the backs SUVs saying “Support our Troops”
are things that make civilians feel good but do
nothing
for the men and women actually in uniform.

So please consider the following:

The number ONE request at Walter Reed hospital is
phone cards. The government doesn’t pay long distance
phone charges and these wounded soldiers are rationing
their calls home.

Many will be there throughout the holidays.

Really support our troops –Send phone cards of any
amount to:

Medical Family Assistance Center
Walter Reed Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001

They say they need an “endless” supply of these – any
amount even $5 is greatly appreciated.

Walmart has good prices on AT&T cards, Sams Club is
even better, if you are a member.

I am sure you would feel better about doing this, than
to buy something for a third cousin, that would find
it on the closet shelf six months later, and wonder
where it came from.

Please pass this portion on, copy and paste it into
your e-mail.”
