Send the troops working Gitmo Some Holiday Cheer

Posted By Blackfive

Received this from my friends at Pundit Review (I added the bold emphasis) via one of their regular listeners, Marlene:

I'm hoping you'll be able to use your blog and radio program to help our soldiers/marines - you know, the good guys - at Gitmo per below.

I was listening to a national radio program yesterday.  A retired military officer and former Green Beret was being interviewed from Guantanamo (he was "visiting" our guys down there).  I was stunned with what he reported.  The terrrorists being held at Gitmo are receiving thousands of "well wishes" from Americans who sympathize with the terrorists and condemn America.  Our troops, who are handling very dangerous detail there, aren't getting much of anything except grief from the terrorists and from their sympathizers.  The retired officer...provided the address, shown below, hoping that people would show support for our troops by sending them cards, letters, pkgs, etc., whatever you could manage, throughout the year, but especially at this time of year.  I've heard today that the response by Americans has been overwhelming.  So I thought I'd let you guys know about this, too, so you could send off a card or something to our guys if you're so inclined.  Perhaps you could have your kids, grandchildren, get involved, too.  If you are going to send something, make sure you include the 2nd line of the address shown below (c/o Col. Wade Dennis) line because the post office and the military will not accept anything simply addressed to "Any Soldier" because of terrorism and anthrax, WMDs, etc.  So I hope you'll help to make one of our guys - you know - the good guys - feel good by showing them they are not forgotten and they are appreciated and supported.  Thank you.  I pulled this info below from the radio station's website.

  Merry Christmas to all of you.
