"I have often wondered how nice it could be if arrangements could be made for lets say middle school or high school students to visit WR and other hospitals that are helping our injured recover. Let them interact with these folks. Let them hear the stories, let them hear why these men and women choice to enlist, and defend this land. Let them hear what they don't hear in the L/MSM and elsewhere. Then write reports to share with their classmates on the character of these people they meet."

That is an excellent idea, I wish I would have thought of it :-)

My Son-in-Law is a High School History Teacher and a former U.S. Marine... (oops strike "former".. no such thing.) And I will suggest that he takes his students on a field trip to WR or BNH, since he was in the Marine Corps, and his two boys (My Grandsons) were born at Bethesda Naval Hospital, I'm sure he will choose BNH.

Thanks for the great idea, I can't wait to run the idea by him in the AM :-)

Cheers,

Never hurts to try. But somehow I think if he is in the public school system, he could get in trouble just bringing up such an idea. Of course being a Marine he is fearless.
Let me know if such a thing could actually materialize.
