"Dear Joshua, I hope you die!" -- J. Sparling (Walter Reed patient)
Fox & Friends ^ | 12/5/05 | Mware

This story was reported on Fox and Friends this morning.

Joshua Sparling just got to Walter Reed last week and received ONE letter from someone writing in a child's printing. Among other things it told him to die. The soldier has the card on the wall of his room. I know FReepers can counter this despicable action with some of our own letters.

Joshua Sparling

Walter Reed Army Medical Center

6900 Georgia Avenue N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20307-5001

Update: Since Joshua will undoubtedly be overwhelmed by America's response, please consider sending (instead of or in addition to Joshua) cards to these find troops:

Excerpt from Brian K. at FNC:
If you have the time, please try and include the others I met along with Col. North and Col. Hunt at Walter Reed:

Capt. James Ollinger
Sgt. Zavian Simspon
Specialist Brian Radke
Specialist Jason Braase
Sgt. David Nevins
Sgt. Jose Ramos
Cpl. Todd Bishop
Sgt. Ryan Donnelly
Sgt. Eva Diane Cochran

Great job posting that! I'm going to ask the mods to update the thread intro with the new names.

Grrrrrr.... What low life cockroach scum bag sent the card, or put their offspring up to it? Joshua should get a whole room full of nice cards.

The slime-ball parent that put their kid up to this should get a punch in the face.

Thank you for the heads up.

Does he have a military rank? I don't see it listed anywhere. I guess I just send it to Joshua Sparling at that address.

Thank you. I hope you and everyone else will help me advertise to folks that there are a dozen or so other names out there. Not to take anything away from Joshua, but he's about to be buried under an avalanche of love. :-) So I hope we can share some of that love with the others.

Um, I thought Tony Snow referred to Joshua Sparling as a Specialist? I'm woefully ignorant. Is that the same thing as a PFC?

Specialist is SPC

PFC is Private First Class

First things first: The issue that's getting so much attention — and rightfully so — is the hate letter written to PFC Joshua Sparling.

I don't know if it's possible to be both????

No, PFC and SPC are different ranks. Not sure which is correct in this case. Joshua works well. :-)

I just don't want to be rude. Anyone know Joshua's rank for sure?

One of the worst things I've read in some weeks now. I wish there was a way to find out who sent that letter, because I'd cover their house in dogshit.

But we can all make up for some lousy excuse of a human being's letter by sending some great letters of our own to this soldier.
