NEVER FORGET
A Holiday Greeting from 'WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE and YOUNG' Co-Author JOSEPH GALLOWAY:
Friends:
As we head into the holidays it is time to think of the airplanes which land every night at Andrews AB outside Washington carrying 12 to 15 wounded soldiers from Afghanistan and Iraq bound for Walter Reed Army Hospital.
Many are evacuated straight out of the field with no possessions. They need some of the smaller things to make life a little easier.
A list of what is needed and where to send it is attached.
GOD Bless Them.
JOE GALLOWAY
-----------------------------------------------------
The American Red Cross at Walter Reed is looking for incidentals/comfort items for sick and wounded Armed Forces Personnel now recuperating at the hospital. When someone stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere is wounded or falls ill, they're immediately evacuated and eventually end up stateside. It takes weeks for their personnnel effects to catch up with them.
Things that the Red Cross is asking for are:
telephone cares of at least 30 minutes / rolling luggage (small), totes, carry-ons / individually wrapped snacks / magazines / notepads, pens / playing cards and games / sweat pants and shirts (all sizes) /
All items should be addressed to:
ATTN: Barbara Green / Walter Reed Army Medical Center / 6900 Georgia Ave, N.W. / Washington, DC 20307-5001 /
Checks should be made out to the American Red Cross.
For more information, call (202) 782-2080 or e-mail Barbara.Green.1@AMEDD.army.mil

Checks should be made out to the American Red Cross.That way it's easier for them to take their cut. Send Items. They will make it to the hospital in one piece

I just got back from visiting a couple of soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital, Sgt. Gerald Santos & Spec. Chad Baetke. There are lots of injured soldiers at WRAMC that need our support

Rent a copy of "We Were Soldiers" and you'll see Galloway reluctantly pick up an M-16 and defend the wounded at the 7th Cav's aid station and single-handedly carry a wounded soldier to a huey for medevac. Oh and grab a box of Kleenex, too. It's a tearjerker.

I asked them that and the young army doctor smiled real wide and said you're here, go asked them :-)
I asked Sgt. Santos and he said he was being treated very well and couldn't think of anything he needed, I looked around and all I could suggest is reading material
