Wounded in Walter Reed need phone cards.

Unemployed since mar of 03, no work here at all in software, but yesteday's dollars from moving dirt (for local landscaper) will go for at least one 20 USD phone card mailing off to walter reed tomorrow.

I be poor, and wounded myself from previous wars, covered with scars, and am old, but I can still do without lunch for a week to send off voice communication card to some poor kid who left his leg in Iraq and needs to speak with his mother.

Mail them
Medical Family Assistance Center
Walter Reed Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001

sorry too many tears to continue.

3. Makes no sense...

Why don't they get a wireless phone. Most have unlimited calls after 9pm and weekends. This group could let a soldier use it.....

4. They don't let them use long distance??????

You have got to be kidding. They have to pay for their long distance calls?????????

What kind of phone cards? I will go buy some first thing in the morning and send some. How many people are there? I'm sure it's a lot. How do they pass out the cards? If I send a few of them (as many as possible) will they actually "get" to someone?????

Thank you for alerting us to this.
