Walter Reed, Week 241, 11/27/09 Thanksgiving – Thanking Our Brave Soldiers

The Friday After Thanksgiving

FRONT GATE NOTES November 27, 2009, Thanksgiving, No Bus and Patriotism

Friday night after Thanksgiving is normally quiet with light traffic. Tonight was no different. Very windy, making the hi 40’s seem like the lo 30’s. Even so, eleven of us were in place during the evening. The wind was so stiff that our banners would have blown away, leaving us with signs and hand held flags.

The war doesn’t stop though and two big ambulances raced down Georgia Ave and into Walter Reed to unload their wounded warriors. Seeing the ambulances reinforces our reason for being at Walter Reed – to support the wounded warriors and their families.

On holiday weekends there are no Friday night dinners for the wounded warriors and their families, and thus there was no bus to wait for and cheer at tonight. So sometime after nine, we packed up to get ready for next week.

At Thanksgiving, we thank our brave soldiers and their families for their service for our country. And may God bless America.
