I hate to put a damper on what SHOULD be a good thing. However, before sending any cards, you will need to check whether or not they will be delivered. Since the advent of anthrax and the like, the military no longer delivers mail addressed to "any soldier". Remember the Dear Abby mail-a-thon every year--no more. So sad. But you must now have the full name of a soldier in order for the mail to be delivered. There is a website at anysoldier.org (I think) where you can sign up to receive the name of a soldier who has agreed to receive and distribute mail to "any soldier". Sorry, I would love to send cards out like I used to with the Dear Abby thing, but the world is not such a generous place any more.
Here is what Walter Reed has on its website:
