Will you help?

I was listening to Dr. Laura today, and heard her speak about this serviceman, Sargent Daniel Thornhill. All his parents are asking is you drop a birthday card, or a thank-you-for- your-service note in the mail to him. He's having a rough time, and it would mean a lot.

I'm going to, and have my family members do it too...now, how about you?


Send a Note of "Thank You For Your Service and Happy Birthday" to Sgt. Thornhill
Date: 2009-06-03

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. (http://www.woai.com/news/local/story/Veteran-loses-limbs-in-battle-but-not-hope/r-aJbGIEdUuR_G98_RnTJA.cspx)

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.
