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.

Walmart has good prices on AT&T cards, Sams Club is even
better, if you are a member.

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.

Sam's Club ATT cards also give you the chance to donate minutes to service members off your own cards as you use them. It may be hard to track how those minutes are used so sending cards to a specific military office that will give them to the troops is a great idea.
