Dear Friends,
I received this today from a friend who is in a support group for those who have loved ones in Iraq. I checked this out on the Fox news website and it is sadly true. No matter how you feel about the military or the war in Iraq, this young man deserves batter. So if you have an extra card I'm sure he would appreciate it.

On Dec. 9th 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 Marine, Joshua Sparling, who is
recovering/re-hab'ing. On a wall next to the young Marine's bed was a
single
card that said someting akin to "die Marine".....
Some anti-war and anti-US military puke had sent this Marine a "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 is unit and USMC 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....
