"... just a few FReeps at Walter Reed"

But you were one of those who came from a far. We appreciate every time you stood with us. Yep, standing at Walter Reed was impressionable whether one stood once, a few, or many. Thanks for being there for our wounded warriors. [Mr] T

Have we yet mentioned the troops who struggled to get out to thank us? How about the ones who watched from the Hospital and got their family to bring them out to thank us?

I often had to walk away to wipe away the blurry vision from realizing the sacrifice these wonderful young men made for my safe life!

These nights have renewed my service, in my own area, during the rest of the year. I went to the recruiting center on Armed Forces Day again this year. All the faces had changed but they were aware I had come before and welcomed me again. Cupcakes and brownies are always appreciated by the young and THIN folks there!
