The Security at Walter Reed is tighter because of how vulnerable the building is, but BNH is more strict about who gets in the hospital. I've been to both many times, but this last visit to BNH, my brother arranged the visit and he was supposed to been added to the visitors list and was not, I have a few names of inpatients at BNH, but did not have them with me that night, so we were denied access to the building :-(
I guess it helps to know a lot of the soldiers now. They pretty much let me in whenever I show up. Most of the guards know me on sight after 6 months of seeing me every week. LOL
The handmade flat lacey ornaments that I sent to MJY1288 were sent to me by a lurker (SS), whom I have yet to write a thank you note to. I sent the others she made to Landstuhl Regional Hospital in Germany and Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo.
I took a picture on a disposable camera of them, but haven't used up the roll yet to get it developed so I can get it posted on our care package thread for all to see the ornaments.
Hpefully I'll do both soon after I finish my CME exams for 2005. Now that my nephew is winging his way back to Alaska, I'm back to my long list of chores.
I had a wonderful Christmas. Hope everyone else did, too.
