To all: If you call the Hilton to let them know how much these dinners at Fran O'Brien's mean to the wounded troops and their families, remember what our MilBlogger friend Andi says, let's "do it with civility and class."
Local DC Channel 4 (NBC) news just had a rather lengthy story about this, complete with an interview with a wounded serviceman having dinner at Fran's with his family. The story said the lease is up 1 May. Supposedly options are being discussed, and other entities have offered to step in to continue the service, including the Italian Embassy.
