Hellow all:

I received this email and was asked to pass it on.

It is the holiday season and I know your have a lot of demands being made on you.
However………the young men and woman who are at Walter Reed and others have given a lot. Now it is our turn to help them. Yellow ribbons tied around trees and red, white and blue stickers on the backs of SUV’s 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 and other hospitals where wounded military members are were phone cards. The government doesn’t pay long distance phones charges and these wounded military members are rationing their calls home.

Many will be at the Hospitals during the Holidays. So lets support our troops and send phone cards. They need an “endless” supply of cards any amount is greatly appreciated.

Medical Family Assistance Center
Walter Reed Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001

PS: Wal-Mart has good prices on AT&T cards, Sam’s Club is even better if you are a member and lets not forget about Costco.

Idid my joband passed this email on.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and God Bless one and all.
Thanks Barb

Barb:

My friends at the Special Forces Association advised me that Walter Reed now has more phone cards than patients...part of their message follows:

__________________________________________________________

Members:

New target. Tripler Army Hospital in Hawaii, which has handled more than 300 wounded (25th Infantry Division Soldiers, for the most part, I reckon) has run out of phone cards for the troops there. I have verified this fact with a close friend who works in the Public Affairs office there. So if you missed the opportunity to send some to Walter Reed, you have a second chance. Send them to:


Tripler Army Medical Center PAO
ATTN.: MCHK-IO
1 Jarrett White Road
Honolulu, HI 96859

Again, thanks for the wonderful support to Walter Reed. One great example comes from CSM (R) Mel Wick, whose company has had a phone installed for the troops to use at Walter Reed, and is paying for its use for an entire year.
God bless, and Merry Christmas.
