Want to do something good and patriotic for one of our brave soldiers this Christmas? Keep reading and I’ll tell you how.
Lots of readers watched Fox & Friends this morning and e-mailed about the disgusting greeting card a wounded soldier received while hospitalized at Walter Reed Army Hospital. Thanks to reader Shari for taking these cell phone camera shots of the card displayed by co-host Brian Kilmeade:
The card front, decorated with patriotic and holiday stamps, was deceptively innocuous:
But take a look at what was inside:
Yes, that’s right. It says “P.S. DIE” in the lower right-hand corner.
According to Kilmeade, who visited Walter Reed on Friday, a US Army soldier named Joshua Sparling received the death wish while recovering from a gunshot wound he received in Ramadi, Iraq. It’s the only Christmas card he received. Fox & Friends is urging you to counter the hate by sending your thanks and good wishes to Sparling.

Disgusting, isn’t it? Two Babes and a Brain has another, larger photo of the card. For someone to send something like that is downright nasty and evil. Here’s hoping that whoever sent it has a small place in Hell reserved.
I say that we all send Joshua Sparling a Christmas card. Better yet, take a few minutes to write him a note, thanking him for his service to this country, and stick THAT in the Christmas card. Let’s show him that what he’s doing is honorable and that we appreciate it.

(HT: SusiePie…who you should REALLY go vote for!)
I will vote for you at Web Awards too bad I came late as well on joining it
wow. I can’t believe I beat you in the battle of the blogs. Your site is so much nicer than mine. I thought sure I was done for. Good job. Hopefully we can rematch sometime. :)
They need to find the person who sent that card hang them from their toes, cover them in honey and let the fire ants at them.
Okay, maybe that’s not very “Christmasy” but, as the wife of a retired Marine and someone who still has friends and family serving, that makes me SICK!!
Good catch on Joshua’s Christmas Card, Gennie:
FReepers are all over a letter writing campaign and I imagine the Rottie and Blackfive will be jumping in soon.
Voted your Blog for Best Web Design.

This is terrible. I am sooo disgusted. You know, all politics aside…that “Christmas card” is malicious.
I would venture to say that it was not even a child who wrote that. Kids are too innocent to write things on their own volition of that nature.
Thanks for putting this here. As soon as my d*mn blog starts cooperating I’ll link to this story. Thank you!
I’m mailing him out one right now. I hope he enjoys a picture christmas card of my husband and I getting married. Those are the cards I have this year.
On a lighter note. I saw the kickass template on Snozzberries website and I want one! But princessy and girly and pink.
