NEW BRAVOS, TX (WCMH) – An Army veteran in Arizona with a terminal illness has a unique final wish.
Lee Hernandez is currently in hospice care in his home. According to the Arizona Republic, he has continuous strokes that affect his vision and cognitive abilities.
Doctors can do nothing more for him except make him comfortable.
Lee served more than 18 years in the Army, including a tour in Iraq.
Earlier this week, he asked his wife to let him hold his phone, “in case someone calls,” according to a post on the Arizona Veterans Forum.

You betcha! ;)
I tried a couple of times, but it was full. Will have to borrow my kids' cell phones tomorrow to text! :)
That is FR....Lots of good people here.
Pretty amazing how Freepers rise to the challenge!
I am pretty sure that our prayers have more power, though, than the phone calls, although he must be so happy to talk to people. That means something too...otherwise the Lord would not have given us means to communicate. :)
I will try again to call tomorrow. :)
I wonder if it’s really New Braunfels,TX ? That is just north of S/A. 210 area code is San Antonio, NB is area code 830. Audie Murphy VA Hospital is in S/A.
I texted them at 17:30 EST and it went right through, guess I got lucky.
Thank you for sharing this.
I just texted him. Did not immediately get rejected, but it might get rejected at some point.
Besides saying I care and love, I told him "Jesus loves him".
If anyone gets to speak to him let me know. thanks

New Braunfels or New Bravos. Never heard of the latter.
