Policy blocks cards for wounded troops


By JENNA PORTNOY
The Intelligencer

Sometimes good intentions just aren't enough.

That's what Vietnam veteran Robert Clegg found out when he wanted to send cards to wounded servicemen and women at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

"It's a wonderful idea to send a holiday card or even a get well card," said Clegg, of Warwick.

In time for Veterans Day, people have received e-mails encouraging them to add "A Recovering United States Marine" to Christmas card lists. It included the hospital's address. A veteran's wife distributed the address Thursday at a county commissioners meeting.

It turns out Walter Reed said, "Thanks, but no thanks," to packages, letters and cards not addressed to a specific individual. The policy was implemented in 2001 to "ensure the safety and well-being of patients and staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense," the hospital's Web site says. The U.S. Postal Service will not deliver "Any Service Member" or "A Recovering American Soldier" mail.

Walter Reed suggests donating to a nonprofit dedicated to helping the military and their families. But Clegg wants the government to review the policy, likely enacted to protect military members from harassing letters and unsafe packages.
