Do not do this!!!!!!! Just found out that this is a fraud: http://www.snopes.com/politics/christmas/soldiercards.asp Sorry for the confusion... it sounded like a great idea but after some investigation I found this is a fraud.
Wait a minute! That link gives you another address where you can send cards. The Red Cross will screen the cards and then pass them on to soldiers. For some reason, I can't cut and paste the mailing address, but it's in that link above.

If you all want to something for a vet you can always go to the local VA in Long Beach to help or bring some stuff over. I know that some of the older vets Viet Nam era are still in those VA hospitals and many of them don't have too much (family, money).
Making a difference Here is another way you can make a difference. I've been to these orphanages and the kids faces light up when they see you. They really appreciate you taking the time to spend the day with them. Maybe we as STR can fill up a bus sometime and spend the day with them. It's something you won't forget. Doesn't have to be Christmas.
