[Ooh-Ah]

Please ping your list.

Hal Koster is responsible for the Walter Reed Friday night bus trips for our wounded warriors and their families to have a nice dinner outside of the hospital.

Many wonderful Freepers have cheered the bus!

[Ooh-Ah]

Ooops, I should have said he is responsible for THE DINNERS the bus goes to.

[Albion Wilde]

Hey, Ooh-Ah! Great to hear from you about this wonderful opportunity!

OK, folks, here's your chance to nominate Hal Koster, the man responsible for all those Fran O'Brien's dinners and troop bus dinners for the wounded from Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval hospitals.

Read the article for directions on filling out the form to nominate Hal Koster for the "Above and Beyond Citizen Honor" administered by the Congressional Medal of Honor committee.

Mega-ping to DC Chapter and the Walter Reed National Readership lists.

[Madame Dufarge]

I just submitted my nomination.

[Ouderkirk]

DONE !

Everybody needs to hit this and make sure Hal gets the recognition he so richly deserves.

Done. It was a little bit hectic, since there is lots of information to put on the form. So I cut and pasted the information about Mr. Koster from the article onto a Word document, then opened the website to the proper form, and entered the information, reading it off the Word document. This is probably the long way around (clearly showing I’m an over-50 non-computer-savvy person), but it worked. Thanks for the opportunity to recommend Mr. Koster for his service “above and beyond.”

I just sent in the form. Very happy to do. He is one of the most deserving.

What the heck is Pres. Clinton doing involved with this? Are the folks that run the society out of their minds? He did so much damage to the military!

[VAFlagwaver]

Just submitted my nomination. Hal definitely deserves it!! I’ll never forget when he stopped by one Friday night to thank us as we waited for the bus to come back. Puh-lease!! Thank YOU Hal!!!
