Christmas Card to an Injured Soldier

Send a Christmas card to an injured U.S. soldier who is spending the holidays in the hospital.

These men and women have given up so much, can we give just a couple minutes of our time and enough money for a stamp to let them know we are thankful for them and that we are praying for them?

Send to:
A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Ave. NW
