OT: Excellent message from another board....just copying and pasting it here....
Think about this.
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.
Wal-Mart has good prices on AT&T cards, Sams Club is even
better, if you are a member. I pay less than three cents per
minute there.
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,
and send to everyone you know.
