I know there have been tons of emails flying around the net about sending troops cards addressed to "Any Wounded Soldier" to Walter Reed and other hospitals.
While the email is very well intentioned, it is also misleading. Sadly, due to the past (hate mail), security concerns, and other items, the USPS is not delivering the mail, and the Military hospitals are not accepting them.

Needless to say, people were quite upset about their cards being returned. In response to this, Walter Reed, and other Veteran Organizations have found a solution.
