Got this in my mail today, and I thought I would pass it on...


This morning on the FOX NEWS morning news/talk show, there was a story about Col. Ollie North and Col. Hunt (both members of the FOX news staff) visiting wounded US mil service members at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. They were talking to a recently wounded in Iraq Marine, a Joshua Sparling, who is recovering/re- hab'ing. On a wall next to the young Marine's bed was a single card that said something akin to "die Marine"..... Mad
Some anti-war and anti-US military puke had sent this Marine an "I hope you die" get well card. It was the only card that this brave kid had received. True to form, he put it on the wall next to his bed as an inspiration to recover, rehab and get back to his unit and USMC buds.

Both the Colonels and the FOX news people thought this brave kid was an inspiration and certainly deserving better than a one time "go die" card....

So, FOX put out his name and address at Walter Reed so he can get some Get Well Cards......

Name: Joshua Sparling
Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue NW
Washington, D.C 20307-5001 c

SO, I think it is time to send some loving get well cards to this young Marine and let him know he is not alone. and we don't all think like this stupid, insensitive ass who sent this card!


And if any of you have an extra Christmas card...please send him one.

Thanks
C-Mom

thanks for posting this.

Trust me, Joshua will get tons of cards and mail once this gets out into the mainstream.

I forwarded this to all of my crew here at work.
