Kelly Moderator Reg: 06-03-2005 Posts: 1495 Loc: Offline	I just saw this idea on FaceBook and wanted to share. It's a wonderful idea and I will definitely be doing this: When filling out your Christmas cards this year, take ONE CARD and SEND it to this address: A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center 6900 Georgia Avenue NW Washington, DC 20307-5001. If everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these soldiers could get to bring up their spirits! I would imagine that you could send cards to your local VA Hospital as well - addresses should not be too hard to find on the internet... --Kelly and the Pack

Yes, there are many bogus charity campaigns, so be careful. Schools, churches,4-H programs, military websites,military working dog foundation, can give you information.Here are some other resources to help out. http://www.operationmilitarykids.org/public/heropacks.aspx http://www.charity.com/charities/Military___Veterans/index.shtml
