    Default Not ff/Way to remember recovering American soldiers

    Received an e-mail the other day suggesting sending a Christmas card to the following:

    A Recovering American Soldier
    c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
    6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
    Washington, Dc 20307-5001

    Might not be a bad idea to send to any local VA Center/Hospital in your area also.

    If this is not appropriate here please delete it.

    Should have checked at Snopes.com first. Mail addressed to no specific soldier at Walter reed may be considered a security risk etc. according to Snopes. Check links from Normand, ausable ny & Joe

    Disregard above suggestion and instead mail can be sent addressed to:

    Holiday Mail For Heroes
    P.O. Box 5456
    Capitol heights, MD 20791-5456

    Must be postmarked no later then December 10th though.
