Georgians urged to send holiday cards to U.S. troops

Washington — U.S. Rep. Tom Price is inviting Georgians to send holiday greetings to American troops by bringing cards — with handwritten messages — to his congressional offices.

The Roswell Republican plans to distribute some of the cards in person to Walter Reed Army Hospital patients and arrange to have the rest sent by the Army to soldiers stationed abroad.

Last year, Price collected 3,000 cards, including many from Georgia schools, for the troops.

Christmas, Hanukkah or nondenominational cards are welcomed and should have a few words of personal appreciation added by the giver, his spokesman said. The cards should be in unsealed envelopes and brought or mailed to one of Price’s offices: 3730 Roswell Road, Suite 50, Marietta, GA 30062, or 100 North St., Suite 150, Canton, GA 30114.

Price is asking that the cards be delivered to his office by Dec. 10.
