Earth Angel

Operation Healing Angel

Wearing a red suit with white trim and putting gifts under the Christmas tree does not make you St. Nick.

Want to really play Santa? Send cards to servicemen and women through Operation Healing Angel.

The program, which is run by Homefront Hugs, sends well wishes to wounded soldiers and the nurses and physicians who care for them.

Write a letter filled with stories from home: the latest gossip (Jamie Lynn is preggers!), your company’s cray-cray Christmas party (your boss grabbed your boobies — for reals), your hilariously bad date (sweat dripped from his nose onto sushi — true story).

Have kids? Make it a family project, complete with homemade cards and photos. Mail it to Homefront Hugs, and they’ll get it in the hands of the wounded and their caretakers.

It’s our duty to let the brave souls know we’re thinking about them.

Since, sadly, they won’t be home for the holidays.
