Outline
Message claims that people can send Christmas greetings to wounded soldiers by addressing cards to “A Recovering American soldier” care of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Brief Analysis
The addressing information contained in the message is incorrect. The original Walter Reed Army Medical Center has now closed. See the Detailed Analysis below for more information about giving cards via the “Holidays for Heroes” program operated by the American Red Cross.
Examples
Subject: FW: Christmas CardsGREAT IDEA!! When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much would get.
When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include the following:
A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
[Address Removed]
If you approve, please pass it on.
