I am glad they have come up with alternative plans...but, it would be so much better if there was one place, where the troops were comfortable every week..

Prayers that the will find just the right place...

Coop....do you know if they are still taking donations?? I really wish there was one location that would take them permanently...

Coop....do you know if they are still taking donations??

Certainly. For now I'd suggest using the same address, as I'm sure the post office will forward mail for the normal 6-month (or whatever it is) period. The following organization takes the donations to support these critical dinners:

Aleethia Foundation Inc.
C/O Fran O'Brien's Steakhouse
1001 16th St. NW
Washington, D.C. 20036

It may not be much, but we discontinued our Hilton credit card and moved all our points from their Hilton Honors club (like frequent flier miles) to an airline club we have. The Capital Hilton and General Manager Brian Kelleher blew this big time.

Any idea where the dinners will be after May 5? The Hilton is to have the May 5th dinner but haven't heard anything else.

I haven't heard about any future dinners, unfortunately.

Thanks - I think.

It would be a shame to have a break in the Friday nite dinners.

Any chance to have the Hilton cover it beyond May 5? It won't be the same, but maybe until better accommodations are made. Maybe have them commit to, say, a month?

Maybe. But I've been underwhelmed by Hilton's response to this situation.

"They don't want us to go through what they went through. ... The older vets, they said, 'This is not going to happen to this generation of veterans.'"


This is what it's all about people. Don't let the left do it again.

G-d Bless Our Troops. G-d Bless Our Veterans.


Lest we forget.
