Do they just take the cards and pass them out to a random soldier? Or is there a wall or something they post all the cards that they can look at? I think I'd rather one of the guys/gals open the card and put it on their nightstand or whatever they do with them.

Here is ANOTHER GOOD CAUSE
Soldiers’ Angels Need Your Help

Pasadena, CA. October 12, 2005 -- The Holiday Season is not far away and thousands of America’s bravest men and women who are standing watch over our freedom will not be home to share this special time of year with their families and friends. Sadly, there are many other deployed soldiers who have no family to send them a package or even a card at this most special time of year. Many wounded will be celebrating in hospitals.

Soldiers’ Angels, an all-volunteer non-profit organization that provides support to deployed soldiers and wounded soldiers as well as their families, is hard at work on their annual Holidays For Heroes stocking drive, where stockings stuffed with small but welcomed items are sent to soldiers who are deployed in the Middle East combat areas and hospital units.

Cash donations are needed to purchase supplies as well as to help with shipping the stockings to the Middle East. Also needed are Holiday Stockings (homemade with special decorations and messages are wonderful, store bought is also great) as well as the little presents to stuff inside such as:

- Individual packets of hot chocolate, cider or hot soup mix…

- Candy (bite sized, individually wrapped, all kinds)

- AT&T Phone Cards (asking for this brand because it works in the Middle East area)

- Hand held games (playing cards, battery games with batteries, please)

- Small puzzle books

- Miniature Menorah

- Small, signed Holiday cards from you and your families simply addressed to “Soldier” or “Hero”. Homemade Cards are Welcome! Be sure to enclose your name and address.

This is the perfect project for a church, school, club, business, family or for any group to get involved and to participate!

Tax deductible cash donations to Soldiers’ Angels, a 501 ( c) (3) organization, can be made by going to the Soldiers’ Angels website at www.soldiersangels.org and clicking on the “Donations” button to donate using Paypal or by sending a check to:

Soldiers’ Angels, 1792 E. Washington Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91104

Please make checks payable to Soldiers’ Angels and make a notation that the check is for the Holiday Spirit For Heroes fund.

That's sick and horrible. Why would the soldier put that card on his wall?

Who sent that card? Damien? That kid needs a slap.
