Hi Troop, it’s nice to see old FRiends. You already know what all those Friday nights meant to me. I don’t think I missed many AARs. It was like being there in spirit. So, I can imagine how much it meant to the wounded warriors. I’m sure that no words can express how much you guys helped the moral of those wounded souls in that hospital. I think now about the place they are being taken at Bethesda. Who is there to cheer them on? My deep regret is that I never could find a way to get to D.C. to stand with you. Thank you all for your Friday sacrifices for those who deserved them. God bless you all.
You are welcome from the DC Chapter.
It is very satisfying when someone lets us know how much good we did at Walter Reed, that we made a difference. That is the reason for this thread, a lot of patriots who were at WR or reading the weekly reports need to know that we made a difference.
I have to admit that there were a couple of times, especially on those very cold nights, that I would briefly wonder if we are making a difference. Then a car load of cheering wounded warriors, hanging out the windows, would drive into WR whooping it up for our support. Or one would come out in his wheel chair and go around to all four corners thanking each and every one of us. Or the parents of a wounded warrior doing the same. This would remind me why we are there and I proudly went on.
And thank you for your weekly comments. The comments and knowing that you really cared about what we were doing also helped us stand proud.
