Carol, my good friend, and I arrived very early at Walter Reed around 4:00 PM after we ate at the DC Fish Market. With 100 degrees we just wanted to sit and wait for the regular Freepers to show and a breeze.
Just as we relaxed in a few folding chairs a very loud large crash happened in front of the main gate.
Within minutes Carole was over to the most damaged car that was rear ended observing what to report. She called 911 and gave a full and precise alert.
1. One person hurt that needed medical help immediately.
2. There were unidentifiable fluids coming from the second car and it needed attention.
What an introduction to your first Freeper event.
I mean, Carole was a trooper. She later said, "after working in New York City for 25 years and watching officers, you sort of know what to do".
Carole directed traffic around the accident until the fire trucks and EMS vehicles came and she continued until they took control. Welcome to Free Republic you lovely courageous lady.
