Special thanks are due to the veterans who attended the day before Veterans' Day FReep including bmwcyle (Navy), BufordP (Air Force), chcknhawk (Army, also Iraq War Veteran and former WR patient), Cindy-True-Supporter (Army), and Jimmy Valentine's Brother (Army). In the year and 8 months that we've been at WR on Fridays, we've been honored to have veterans and members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard join us.

Bears repeating! Thank you to you all for your service -- and also [Mrs] Trooprally (Army), ConcreteBob and Coop (Marines), TrueBlackMan (Navy), Danang68, Citizen SMASH, ROTC participants Gavin and PREZUSA222, and the many present and former Walter Reed patients who have formed friendships with us.

I know I have missed some who have served -- please forgive me and by all means, post on the thread any who have gone unrecognized.

Last but not least, many Walter Reed FReepers are the parents, sons, daughters, siblings, spouses or other family members of veterans and active duty troops -- being a military family member is a special kind of concern, sacrifice and exercise of faith that often goes unrecognized.

Thanks and God bless you all!
