It says I have already sent one - but I haven't. Strange.

For cards to actually reach a recovering soldier, they need to go through an agency like Red Cross, not just to the hospital. http://www.snopes.com/politics/christmas/soldiercards.asp

Hey, I didn't know you could just send off 1 card. I tried to send another & it said I couldn't :( Oh well, I sent one to my friend telling her she is a good mother.

Micki said...

Brianne & Heather - thank you both for the addresses. Sent one to each, and I'll also send one of my family cards to each address.

Thanks Brianne, My card was sent to an army soldier (my grandfather served in Korea) so I felt good about sending it to an army soldier.

Well I sent mine to the recovering American soldier address that Brianne said and I really hope it gets there, what would they do with the mail catrpel, throw it away? the snope link you posted came up with nothing.

Here is another attempt at the info on the recovering soldier cards not being delivered if sent to the hospitals:

I mailed out 6 cards last year for Thanksgiving to the Walter Reed Medical Center and they were all returned to me. They were marked "Return to Sender." I was told that they had to be addressed to a specific person or they could not be opened due to potential threats.

Jennie said...

Actually, Brianna -- because of recent security precautions, unless your letter is addressed to a specific soldier, the hospital can't deliver it. You can, however, get it distributed by the Red Cross:
Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456
