Collecting Holiday Cards for the Wounded

There's never a ton of money lying around during the holidays, but this year's looking especially bleak. That doesn't match with my overpowering need to do something extra for our troops again this year. I won't be able to afford to put together any extra packages this year for anyone other than my officials, so the best way I could think of to help would be to offer my mailbox as a landing spot for christmas cards for the wounded if it's needed.

I have emails in to a few people about this. I haven't heard back yet but figured since the holidays are approaching so quickly it would be best to get started as soon as possible. So let's get writing angels! I plan on shipping whatever cards are recieved on December 1st. That gives us a month and a half to get as many cards together as we can. As soon as I get all the details straightened out, I'll post more info. Spread the word, we want to reach as many of our soldiers as possible. They all need our support of course....I know there's lots of card drives going on right now. But picture not alone being stuck away from home and your family for Christmas, but having been injured on top of that? Let's get writing angels! I picked up a box of cards yesterday, so we're ahead of the game with 25 cards for the wounded! Come on angels, they need our support!

Obviously I don't want to post my home address here on the site, and will be obtaining a p.o. box this week. I will update this post as soon as the new mailing address is available.

If you would like more info, email me or post in the comments and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
