How to Send Cards to Wounded American Soldiers
Soldiers of every type like to know they have the support of their country, and wounded soldiers often need an extra boost to overcome the injuries received during their service to our country. Often hospitalized for months on end and far from home, cards from fellow citizens can boost morale and add joy to a tedious and painful rehabilitation period. If you'd like to encourage a wounded American soldier by sending cards, you'll be doing a service both to the soldier and to the country she was fighting for when she was injured.
