Birthday card request for wounded soldier

[DKRC]

I just received this & thought I'd pass it along.

<snip>

There is a wounded soldier at the Fisher House in Fort Sam Houston, Texas by
the name of Sgt. David Thornhill. Sgt. Thornhill lost both legs and I think
both arms as well as being burned on 56% of his body while serving this
country in Iraq. He has been at the Fisher House for 2 years and his
parents have reached out for support. They are not asking for money or
anything like that, but they are asking for as many service members,
veterans, and others as possible to please send him a birthday card. His
birthday is this coming week and it would be nice if a lot of us send him a
birthday card to show him how much we love him for what he has sacrificed
for his country. His parents are worried about his emotional status and he
hardly ever has visitors.
Let's help this soldier and send him a lot of cards. Show your love.

1. Will do. (And thanks, you don't see much of this sentiment at DU.)

2. No thanks necessary

This request gives me a specific person to focus on since I can't send cards to all of our wounded. Even if we're the only two who send him birthday cards, that's two more than he would've received.
