Christmas is a special time of year for sharing. When doing your Christmas cards won't you consider sending one to a wounded soldier at Walter Reed. There are so many there who will not be home for Christmas. Think of the sacrafice they made for freedom. Please pass this on.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Vicky, you are a strong supporter of the Troops, just like me. I did hear Walter Reed was not taking cards, which I find strange, although if it is a security issue, I guess we have to deal with it. But I would like to know what issue it is. Thanks for the post, and we will all figure it out. Your friend, Ellen B
