From an e-mail posted by Hugh Hewitt:
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. Walmart has good prices on AT&T cards, Sams Club is even better, if you are a member. I am sure you would feel better about doing this, than to buy something for a third cousin, find it on the closet shelf six months later, and wonder where it came from.
C'mon, Rantburgers - I'm sure most of us could afford at least one $5 card. I'm a Sam's member and will be stopping by this weekend to pick up some cards. (And this is in spite of needing $3600 to replace my furnace.) |
