Tony ... great idea, but NO - CAN'T DO IT - Here's why:
http://www.wramc.amedd.army.mil/WRRe...canSoldier.pdf
"WRAMC is a Department of Defense hospital and must comply with the US Postal Services Policies. We are deeply grateful on behalf of our patients for the number of cards and letters that thousands of Americans sent showing their concern and support for our warriors here and at military medical facilities across the nation. Unfortunately, we must now revert back to the US Postal Services policy that prohibits receipt of packages, letters, and cards addressed to 'Any Wounded Soldier' or 'A Recovering American Soldier'. For security and safety reasons, the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver "Any Service Member" or "A Recovering American Soldier" letters or packages. Every one of the 700,000 letters and cards that were sent over the holidays were screened by the American Red Cross and several hundred volunteers helped with the screening process. The volunteers found a number of parcels that contained inappropriate comments but because of the screening process, these were not delivered to a recovering service member. The US Postal Service policy, not WRAMC’s policy is that mail to "Any Service Member" that is deposited into a collection box will be returned to sender."
HOWEVER - go to the link above - there are other means by which you can communicate with or provide support to Service Men and Women.
Here is the alternative worked out by the Red Cross:
American Red Cross: Holiday Mail for Heroes
