Default The number ONE request at Walter Reed hospital is phone cards.

Phone Cards Connect Us With Wounded

Yellow ribbons tied around trees and red, white and blue stickers on
the backs SUVs saying "Support our Troops" are things that make
civilians feel good but do nothing for the men and women actually in
uniform.

So please consider the following:

The number ONE request at Walter Reed hospital is phone cards. The
government doesn't pay long distance phone charges and these wounded
soldiers are rationing their calls home.

Many will be there throughout the holidays. Really support our troops
-- Send phone cards of any amount to:

Medical Family Assistance Center
Walter Reed Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001

They say they need an "endless" supply of these -- any amount even $5
is greatly appreciated.

Wal-Mart has good prices on AT&T cards, Sam's Club is even better, if
you are a member.

Please pass this portion on, copy and paste it into your e-mail, and
send to everyone you know.

Actually, there are a few 1000 minute ones gathering dust in my desk
drawer right now. They go out first thing in the morning mail :-)
Thanks for the tip.

Such is the work being done here for Christ's glory

Bob, you should have at least put it in your own words. I don't do things
just because someone puts "send to everyone you know". It makes me wonder
what the deal is. BTW: we have other soldiers besides the ones at Walter
Reed....

Dear Pat, please lighten up. What dos it matter whose words they are when
the facts are correct? Sounds like a great idea no matter who suggested it,
that's what the "deal" is. Thanks Bob

Happy holidays,
Nancy J

Hey, Pat. Here are my own words. Bite me.

And I mean that in the nicest possible place.

You are free to ignore anything I post henceforth. Matter of fact, you
are free to ignore things I already posted. What a deal, huh...?

Interesting how your reply was *ALL* about you...

Bob

Don Imus announced on his show this morning(Friday) that the number one
request at Walter Reed was the phone cards. He said he was personally going
to send $10,000 worth of phone cards to Walter Reed. I figure all the good
souls who heard this will determine to send as many cards as they can
possibly afford to help out with this wonderful effort. The lazy ones will
decide that someone else has already taken care of it. Nevertheless, after
this message has gone around the Internet plus being announced on a national
program, I imagine Walter Reed is going to have mail problems. Plus, (the
cynic is speaking now) I can see a lot of these cards being stolen and/or
sold by individuals who get to handle all this phone card mail. The cards,
after all, have no owner and are as good as cash.
