If that card was created by a misguided child, I have a feeling the public outcry may find its way back to that same child and hopefully provide food for thought.

Thank you Mware.

I'll be writing a card to day to let this brave hero know we care.

The printing on the card looks like what you would see from a 7-9 year old. A child that age would not have the necessary background to find the address of Joshua at Walter Reed and mail it on his own.

I sure would like to know if this letter was personally addressed to Josh or was it just addressed to , An American Soldier???

The word DIE at the bottom of the letter. Does it look like they made the words in the form of an evergreen tree.

I think it's supposed to be drops of blood.

I'm beginning to think it is an adult trying to imitate a child's handwriting. The individual letter themselves are fairly consisent and well-shaped. You would expect them to be sloppier, considering how uneven the baseline of the text is. When you can control the letters you can control the baseline, with the common exception of having writing "drift" on an angle.

Actually I never thought it was a child..More than likely an adult Muslim,figuring that if they were know to be an adult that they could get into big trouble..If it was a child then they were told to write the letter..Again,but as we know Muslim children are taught from birth to hate Americans especially American service men and women..Anyway you look at it this is a sick person that needs to be found and made to leave this country even if it is an American..

I don't know if the word was made to look like an evergreen or not. I just thought they were trying to make the word stand out "DIE"

I'm fairly sure this is an adult. The key is the uniformity of the individual letters, even the "scrunched" letters where the words close up against the right hand margin. The only errors ('dieing', the misplaced comma) seem contrived - if a child can correctly spell "soldier" he shouldn't have a problem with "dying", and he certainly shouldn't put his comma in the wrong place in the salutation.

Somebody who is trying to write like a child contrives obvious errors but overlooks the "automatic" stuff like letter formation and correctly doing more difficult tasks than the ones deliberately botched.

My money's on one of those liberal loonies that hang around outside Walter Reed oozing hate.
