DC Chapter | November 24, 2006 | Albion Wilde

[Albion Wilde]

Just when you think another week at Walter Reed is going to be ho-hum, it pulls you back in!
Every week at Walter Reed is special; this report tells of one of the most memorable weeks of all the 83 weeks to date that we have rallied at the gates on Friday night.

Join us tonight from 6:30 to 9:30 or so, and see what happens this week!

We order pizza and there is usually coffee/tea/chocolate to drink.

Park on the northeast side of Georgia Avenue and Elder Streets NW, in the parking lot or on Elder Street.

Thankfully I will have high speed internet and a new computer next week so I can finally see these fabulous threads you post without crashing.

I do want to say thanks to all the DC FReepers who have given so much to help the guys and gals at Walter Reed and their families. Our Nascar season is over until February but we continue to pray and hope for everyone's recovery at all the hospitals including Bethesda and Brooke. Please keep me updated if you can on any additional names we should add to our prayer list and of those who have thankfully been able to return home to their families.

Thank you so much for being there and writing these reports. I never miss them.

Thank you to our troops.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Great report! You just never know what's going to happen on any given Friday. Today the sun is shining and it will be a grand night for supporting the troops.

[Dinah Lord]

Big old thankful bump.

What a great after action celebrity report. It's so great to see the pics of all the FReepers out in support of our troops. Glad to see everyone is bundled up and staying warm and I'll be thinking of everyone tonight.

God bless you guys. Best wishes to all.
(except the dirty, rotten Code Pinkos, of course)

P.S. Buford and the bear made me scream! Too funny.

Great work. Your mastery with words give this special FReep the proper respect to all of the special guest who stopped by. The guests almost outnumbered the FReepers.

Fantastic report recounting a fantastic night! Thanks, AW and all the faithful DC Freepers!

[AliVeritas]

God Bless all of you... I need to move there.

[Taxman]

Somehow, a Taxman Bravo Zulu! seems inadequate to thank all of you for the important work that you are doing at WRAMC.

For now, that is the best I can do.

Tasman Bravo Zulu!

Your report had me in tears.. very profound. How proud the sons of the gold star parents would be/are(I think they know).. and how shamed Casey would be (think he knows too)

thank you all for being there

. forwarding this report to friend Mark in Chicago. I am pretty sure we will be with you the party weekend & want him to get acquainted with you all & THE MISSION ahead of time

[Enterprise]

Walter Reed, brave warriors, honored guests, and dedicated FReepers bump!

[Spiff]

Best. Walter. Reed. FReep. Report. EVER!

Keep up the great work!!

I talked to a soldier after the Ft. Huachuca FReep who came to thank us for defending the honor of the troops. He has been to Walter Reed too and has seen you all on the corner. He wanted to thank everyone for coming out and supporting the troops and tell you how much it meant to the soldiers there and elsewhere.

These words sure help on the cold, dark nights at WR. Thanks for letting us know.

[StarCMC]

Just beautiful. You've got a cheerleader here in the heartland. God bless you all!!

One thing that Hal Koster also said was that one night several weeks ago, a soldier from the dinner bus was not feeling well. He used his personal vehicle to take the soldier back early to Walter Reed. As they drove threw the gates, the soldier saw us and perked up, no longer feel bad.

Another Good News story to keep us warm on these cold Friday nights.

[PGalt]

BTTT! FR's finest supporting America's finest!

[Chewie84]

Sounds like you had an awesome Freep!

"BufordP FReeped with honor, before the bear fight he got into here and here. Judging by its expression after the tussle, the bear won."
LOL! That's a cute bear.
If I'm ever in DC on a Friday night for some reason (Though, sadly, that's probably not very likely), I'd be honored to join you guys at Walter Reed.
