Has the post about sending Christmas cards addressed to any soldier, c/o Walter Reed hit your other social networks yet?

The U.S. Postal Service will not accept mail addressed to "Any Soldier," "Any Wounded Soldier," or the like because if it did, it could be providing a conduit for those who might do harm to armed services members. Such offerings are either returned to sender (if a return address has been provided or if one is found within the package) or donated to charities (if no address for the sender is found). Similarly, military hospitals will not accept letters, cards, or packages addressed in such manner for the same reason. Such beneficences, no matter how kindly meant, are not permitted to reach the soldiers they were intended for.

Interesting... and understandable. It's a shame that this has to be the norm...

Makes sense to take precaution, because the enemy is always adapting to new opportunities which means some thing has already happened but we have not heard about. Where there is smoke there is fire.
