Is there a place like Walter Reed Hospital or another care facility that will take gift baskets and cards for the soldiers?
--------------------
What a wonderful Idea! Bless you for thinking of it. I googled walter Reed and they can not longer accept gifts to wounded soilders. However you could look into a local veteran's hospital and contact them. They maybe able to have you or your group give gifts to theveteran's in their care. I know that other than personal hygiene products alot of the veterans appreciate gifts like lap blankets, books, games and phone cards or videos. Some of these veterans even have children and are not able to give them gifts (it can be depressing) offer to have each veteran make a list of one gift per child they would like to give to their children (set a price of $10-$20) or give them stockings filled with small items to give to thier children. Beleive me it will make their day to be able to give their own children something for christmas. Good Luck, and again, Bless you. If more people thought as you do, what a wonderful world we would have.
