Thank you both. I know that if my son were in Walter Reed I would personally embrace and kiss every single FReeper, Protest Warrior, Rolling Thunder dude, any vet, lurker, blogger, student or passerby who stood out there to represent the America that loves and honors these heroes without ifs ands or buts.
My son-in-law was in Walter Reed for almost a year.
It was many years ago, but his last name too, is Sparling.
Showing support at the medical center is also a way for me to say "thank you" and "keep up the good work" to the staff there.
