My students and I are writing holiday cards to be sent to Walter Reed for a recovering soldier. If you are so inclined, and have the time, why not write an extra card and send as well? Regardless of your views on the war, these men and women have been injured serving our country and what better way to thank them than this?

When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include the following:

A Recovering American Soldier

c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center

6900 Georgia Avenue,NW

Washington,D.C. 20307-5001

A great idea!!

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

I teach as well, and it has come to my attention several times in the past year that Walter Reed is *not* accepting mail addressed to a recovering soldier due to security reasons. An alternate address to send to is:

Holiday Mail for Heroes

PO Box 5456

Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

Apparently, they want their mail sent by the 10th!!

The full information on the Walter Reed issue can be found here (Snopes found the rumour to be true):

It's a great idea, regardless of what route it needs to go through to get to the heroes!

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Ah, thanks for letting me know. This is the address we received from our Archdiocesan Outreach Dept. I hope it gets there, as I just sent 102 cards!!!

Ach, well, trying to do something good....
