Some excerpts from the Article:

Holiday cards addressed to “any wounded soldier” at a military hospital won’t have to be returned unopened this year.

The American Red Cross is collecting, reviewing and delivering holiday greeting cards to recovering soldiers at military hospitals who aren’t specifically named on the envelope.

The greeting cards, with adequate postage and a return address, should be sent to: We Support You During Your Recovery!, c/o American Red Cross, P.O. Box 419, Savage, MD 20763-0419.

No packages can be accepted. Red Cross officials are urging the public to have the holiday cards mailed and postmarked no later than Dec. 24.

The program stops after this holiday season, but Red Cross officials say they will evaluate the success of the program to see if it will be continued in coming years.
