Donating YT 1000 Club Member | What to do with all those left over Cards? I know every year I have leftover cards that don't get sent. This was posted to my FB today & I thought it'd be really neat if we could all share at least one card. When filling out your Holiday cards this year, take one card and send it to this address: A Recovering American Soldier, c/o Walter Reed National Military Medical Center 8901 Rockville Pike Bethesda, MD 20889-5600 or HOLIDAY MAIL FOR HEROES: P.O. Box 5456, Capital Heights, MD., 20791-5456. If we pass this on and everyone sends cards, think of how many these soldiers will get and how that might just help to lift their spirits even a little!

| Sherry The US Postal Service will not accept mail addressed to "Any Soldier" "Any Wounded Soldier" etc, because of security concerns. The Holiday Mail for Heroes is legitimate. But you have to have your cards postmarked by December 9th or they will be returned. Details here: Holiday Mail for Heroes 2011

| You're welcome Sherry. The Recovering Soldier story goes around every year at this time. Sort of an urban legend.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Here's what Snopes had to say: snopes.com: Holiday Mail for Heroes I jumped the gun a little but it IS a great program. Be sure to check out what they won't allow such as inserts to the card & glitter cards.
