Please read TruthNtegrity's #178, about her visit to Walter Reed Hospital to see Sgt. Santos:
When I got to Sgt. Santos room he was gone, and the reason was - he was in physical therapy. When he came back, he was walking (!!!!!) on crutches, but walking. I let out a "HooHah" and he broke into a proud grin.
Then I talked with a Rick Diaz, who had been a passenger on that Chinook on Nov. 2....he was still in hospital blue cotton Hospital-issued pajamas. I said to him, "Do you know that the Red Cross has clothes - sweats, underwear, socks, sneakers and phone cards that we've sent here for you guys?" He had NO clue.
As Gerald Santos told me, unless you have family or friends who can go down for you, the Red Cross doesn't exactly come to the wards and make the items available.

The Red Cross is telling Americans not to send anything to Walter Reed, that they are overwelmed with our support.
This Soldier didn't know and hadn't received anything.
Contact the DoD: here. I suggested they fire the Red Cross and hire the Boy Scouts to deliver the Christmas mail. Just make sure our Soldiers know we care!
