If this was legit I think they could easily have found an outlet in the general news. My Spidey Sense is tingling.....

They're asking for greeting cards, not money. No harm in sending one.

Agreed and if anyone can send the gentleman one in my name I'd gladly reimburse via Paypal or donate the cost to SubSim.

Took me longer to take the photo and upload it to Photobucket than writing out the card. It will be in the mail today!

I can't send one...meaning...I don't have money for it.

I really would like to thank him for his service...but certain things cost money...and money is very very very tight for me now that I have to pay for my own gas.

Until I get a job, I have no income.
