I don't normally disseminate these, but this one caught my eye and is not on Snopes, yet, anyway.
This kid is getting a card from me, ASAP. If he has more than he can use, I hope that he passes it on to another servicemember there.
Hope that others feel the same way. Let's quit talking and start doing.

"This morning on the FOX morning news/talk show, there was a story about Col. Ollie North and Col. Hunt (both members of the FOX news staff) visiting wounded US mil service members at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. They were talking to a recently wounded in Iraq soldier, a Joshua Sparling, who is recovering/re-hab'ing. On a wall next to the young paratrooper's bed was a single card that said someting akin to "die GI".....
Some anti-war and anti-US military puke had sent this soldier an "I hope you die" get well card. It was the only card that this brave kid had received. True to form, he put it on the wall next to his bed as an inspiration to recover, rehab and get back to his unit and 82nd buds.
Both the Colonels and the FOX news people thought this brave kid was an inspiration and certainly deserving better than a one time "go die" card....
Very likely written by a liberal democrat........
So, FOX put out his name and address at Walter Reed so he can get some Get Well Cards...... Bet you a $100 that his Xmas stocking is going to be overrun with cards and another $100 that he shares them with the other WIA's at Walter Reed. If there was ever a reason to go out and by a card this is it......
Send it on to everyone you know.
Name: Joshua Sparling
Walter Reed Army Medical Center
