Ruh roh. Please don't send cards . . . sadly, after 9/11 the Postal Service can no longer deliver mail to the military hospitals that is not addressed to a specific patient. National security, mail threats, etc. render this form of thanks and encouragement ineffective. Your card will be returned to you. I sent cards to Bethesda and Walter Reed -- returned undeliverable. Please check Snopes.com for confirmation.
