For The Record
November 15, 2007
An email circulation the net currently, as well as part of a letter in the Morning Call on Nov. 13th is giving some incorrect information. Walter Reed Army Medical Center no longer is accepting packages, letters and holiday cards addressed to ''any wounded soldier'' or to ''a recovering American soldier.''
This decision was made to ensure the safety of patients and
staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense in 2003-2004.
