| If you wish to send Christmas Cards to our wounded troops, here is an address I received via email. Many of the things I hear about is that the troops just want a card or letter, nothing more. When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please

| Correction: I called Walter Reed to find out the best way to send a bunch of cards to soldiers, and was directed to the Red Cross office at Walter Reed. The gentleman I spoke to said to bundle multiple cards in one big manilla envelope and send them to the Red Cross office and they will distribute them. He was a nice man who is a wounded soldier himself. The address I was given is: Red Cross
Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue NW
Heaton Pavillion
3EO5
Washington, DC 20307 The man said they can also use stamps, gloves and stocking caps at the Red Cross office there. http://elainesplace.net/?p=259

Cards and packages addressed to "Any Soldier" or "Recovering Soldier" are no longer deliverable at WRMC, as per DOD order. If Red Cross is not on the package, mail will be returned.
