I was listening to Dr. Laura yesterday and I heard her talk about this and I thought it was a good thing to share. I got this off of her website www.drlaura.com if you want to get more information.
It won't take long to make a simple birthday card to let just one of the many soldiers serving our country in battle know how much we appreciate what they have given for us as Americans. Thank you Sgt. Thornhill!
Sgt. Daniel Thornhill was seriously injured in Afghanistan two years ago by a suicide bomber. This soldier has lost both legs, is paralyzed from the waist down and has suffered severed burns over his arms, hands and body. He has been rehabbing at the Fisher House in Fort Sam Houston, Texas. (WOAI.com article: Veteran loses limbs in battle, but not hope) His parents have reached out for support -- not financially, 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 note to show him how much we love him for what he has sacrificed for his country. And if you're in the in the San Antonio area, stop by and visit not only this troop but others who may be in the same situation and Sgt. Thornhill and his family. Please brighten the day of a hero.
