"I received the following email:

I wrote back to Colleen suggesting that she contact her local VFW, Marine Corps League, American Legion, and Vietnam Veterans of America. I've also posted her message on American Veterans

I have corresponded with Colleen, so I know this to be valid.

I AM HOPING YOU AND YOUR READERS CAN HELP ME WITH A PROBLEM, I HAVE A NEIGHBOR, A MARINE, WHO DID TWO TOURS IN NAM, HE IS VERY POOR HEALTH AND PROBABLY WON'T LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER CHRISTMAS, HE LIVES IN A 3 ROOM HOUSE HE BUILT HIS SELF, HE HAS NO LIVING FAMILY, FEW FRIENDS, EVERY CHRISTMAS I TAKE HIM A BASKET OF GOODIES, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THAT IS CHRISTMAS CARDS FROM ALL OVER, FROM OTHER VETS, YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HAPPY THIS WOULD MAKE HIS CHRISTMAS. HE LIVES WITH HIS CAT, AND IN ON OXYGEN AS HE HAS EMPHYSEMA AND IS BASICALLY HOUSEBOUND. PLEASE IF YOU CAN HELP ME, HIS NAME IS RICHARD WORKMAN, AND YOU CAN SEND CARDS TO HIM C/O COLLEEN CASTILLO, 3372 S KNOX, ODESSA,TX 79763

THANKS

[StoneColdGOP]

FINALLY.... Now this is a good idea.

[StayoutdaBushesWay]

Thanks for the ping B4Ranch, I really appreciate it.
Big time prayers for Mr. Workman that this holiday season will be a very good one with all the cards he is about to receive. I only wish I could be there to see the look on his face when he gets all of them.
Card will be sent out Friday!

Thanks for the flag on this important thread, B4Ranch.

[GeekDejure]

Already one of my priorities . . . but thanks for the BUMP !!!

It'll be a blessing to send this Vet a card. How 'bout 8? One from each kid and Mom/Dad?

BUT...does this lady REALIZE just what she's done? The poor guy will be swimming in cards and letters, and will need someone to help him open/read them all! AWESOME.

[Colt .45]

Will do! I will be sending one a little earlier to make sure he gets the card by Christmas.

[harpseal]

I shall be sending a card and will post the address at local American Legions and VFW's.

Stay well- Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Consider it done!

Thanks, B4, for the bump.
I'm going to make my own cards this year to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
As an old West Texas boy myself, and an old Gyrene, it will be an honor to send him a card.
Thanks for the heads-up, ciscoll.
'Tis a mighty fine thing you're doing!

[monkeywrench]
