When sending your holiday cards this year, be sure to add this one to your list:
A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, D. C. 20307-5001
UPDATE:
Walter Reed Army Medical Center officials want to remind those individuals who want to show their appreciation through mail to include packages, letters, and holiday cards addressed to 'Any Wounded Soldier' or 'A Recovering American Soldier' that Walter Reed cannot accept these packages in support of the decision by then Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Transportation Policy in 2001. This decision was made to ensure the safety and well being of patients and staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense.
In addition, the U.S. Postal Service is no longer accepting "Any Service Member" or "A Recovering American Soldier" letters or packages. Mail to "Any Service Member" that is deposited into a collection box will not be delivered.
Instead of sending an “Any Wounded Soldier” letter or package to Walter Reed, please consider making a donation to one of the more than 300 nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping our troops and their families listed on the "America Supports You" website, www.americasupportsyou.mil
Other organizations that offer means of showing your support for our troops or assist wounded servicemembers and their families include:
http://www.usocares.org/
http://www4.army.mil/ocpa/tooursoldiers/
http://www.redcross.org
If you still want to send a card, The Red Cross suggests bundling a number of cards in a manilla envelope and mailing them to their office. They will distribute the cards.

Hey Em -- I just happened to be reading Snopes.com after reading your blog and read that they do not accept cards to "Any Wounded Soldier" etc. for security reasons. The cards will be returned to sender. Snopes suggested that you make a donation or something. Just wanted you to know. --Amy Morantes
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, thanks for the heads-up on that, Amy! Miss you guys- hugs to Jack!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I probably shouldn't ask, but what does the M stand for in design 9? "Merry"? Or "Mike"? :)
ReplyDeleteI love these. I'll take 100 of the first one and pretend it's my adorable baby.
