please send this wounded soldier a card?
came from friend in state attorney's office.. heartbreaking:

IMPORTANT SEND cards to wounded soldier: Sgt. David Thornhill/ Fort
Sam Houston-Fisher House, 3623 George C. Beach Rd, Fort Sam Houston,
TX. 78234 Parents are worried about his emotional status and he
doesn't get many visitors. He lost both legs & was burned over 1/2 his
body serving in Iraq. His birthday is next week and his family has
reached out to the military community looking for support....Pass this
on!

I sent one earlier when this was first brought to my attention by a DUer. DU can sometimes appear to be reflexively anti-military, but this kid deserves any support we can offer him.

on edit: K&R

8. K&R, and
I'm sure they is a data bank out there somewhere with the addresses of even more vets that could use some kindly community attention. For the cost of a stamp and the few minutes it takes to write a on a card, you could make a huge difference in someone's life.

11. Do you have any details?
Can he get cookies? Can he see? Does he have any wishes as far as books, magazines, DVDs, games, puzzle books, etc? I'd like to send more than a card, but don't want to make a faux pas if he has dietary restrictions or any other issues.
