Send an Extra Card

A reader passes along this great idea. Many thanks for your thoughtfulness.

When writing out your Christmas cards this year, please send a card to the address listed below. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful special people, our service members and veterans, who have sacrificed so much would get.

Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

Information on the Walter Reed Army Medical Center's website http://www.wramc.amedd.army.mil/ indicates that cards should not be mailed to the medical center. Last year's similar program, sponsored by the American Red Cross, resulted in 600,000 cards being received.

If you wish to switch the word Christmas with the word Holiday, it's all right.
