I heard that for world war 2 vets you can get a birthday card sent to them from the president...?

Question

My great grandpa is turning 92 and I wanted to see if I could get one sent to him....Does anyone know where to go for that?

Answer 1

try www.whitehouse.gov to start.

A: Heidi Marquez Smith, Special Assistant to the President and Director of Presidential Correspondence:

Thank you for your interest in requesting a greeting from President Bush. You may submit a request via fax at 202-395-1232, mail to The White House, Attn: Greetings Office, Washington, D.C. 20502-0039, or by Web Mail located on the White House website at http://www.whitehouse.gov/greeting/. Please make sure to include your grandfather's full name with appropriate salutation, date of birth, mailing address, and your (the requestor's) name and daytime phone number. We ask that requests for greetings are received in our office at least six weeks in advance of the event date. At this date I recommend you fax or use White House Web Mail to submit your request. We will make every effort to send the greeting in time for your special occasion. For more information on our guidelines and the types of greetings you may request please visit the White House website at http://www.whitehouse.gov/greeting/.

Be very careful, DO NOT go to www.whitehouse.com, you'll get something your grandfather might enjoy but you won't.

Answer 2

Happy Birthday to your Grandpa, and thank you for defending our great country.

A page from the White House Greetings Office gave us the lowdown on requesting a card from President George W. Bush. Greetings can be sent to U.S. citizens for the following:

birthdays (the recipient must be turning 80 or older)
wedding anniversaries (the couple must be celebrating 50 years or more)
births
weddings
Eagle Scout ceremonies
Girl Scout Gold awards
Bar or Bat Mitzvahs or "equivalent occasions"
Here's the procedure:

At least six weeks in advance, mail a written request for a greeting to:

The White House
Attn: Greetings Office
Washington, D.C. 20502-0039

Make sure to include the following:
the name and address of the recipient
the date of the occasion
for a birthday, include the age of the recipient
for an anniversary, include the number of years married
for a wedding, include the married names and address of the couple
for a birth, include the date of birth and the full names and address of the parents

If all goes as planned (this is the government we're talking about), the card should be mailed 10 days before the event.

Answer 3
