Birthday Card to Sgt. Thornhill
June 3, 2009 – 1:16 pmDear Friends: I just heard this on Dr. Laura’s show:
There is a wounded soldier at the Fisher House in Fort Sam Houston, Texas by the name of Sgt. David Thornhill. Sgt. Thornhill lost both legs and I think both arms as well as being burned on 56% of his body while serving this country in Iraq. He has been at the Fisher House for 2 years and his parents have reached out for support. They are not asking for money or anything like that, but they are asking for as many service members, (This, I think gives us permission to pass this around) 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 birthday card to show him how much we love him for what he has sacrificed for his country. His parents are worried about his emotional status and he hardly ever has visitors. Let’s help this soldier and send him a lot of cards. Show your love.

Thanks Nik. Blake made a card yesterday, and I am getting it in the mail today. I posted the information on a couple Conservative Forums, too. I am hoping Sgt. Thornhill has a great birthday and a wonderful year.
You guys are the best.

Just to set the record straight I spoke with Susan Thornhill, Daniel’s mother, and Daniel’s birthday is May 17th. Everyday Daniel receives dozens of cards and wonderful ballons that they are sharing with other residents at Fisher house.
For more information please visit http://www.fisherhouse.org and thank you for supporting our wounded warriors.

I sent Daniel a birthday card today. I think we should remember his birthday every year and even send a ‘thinking of you’ card now and then.

Our church and friends and family sent cards and they were all returned. we were afraid something bad had happened to david or daniel. We addressed them to david.
