To: TEXOKIE; VOA
Amen, TEX. Thank you for the lovely prayer for our CinC who bears the final responsibility.

Prayers for those who visit the wounded, break the sorrowful news to mothers and fathers, tend the wounded souls of their fellow fallen Soldiers.

ALOHA RONNIE posted a thread, asking us to remember our wounded heroes this Christmas:


NEVER FORGET


...And now this from JOE GALLOWAY, with LOVE:


.."I spent six hours at Walter Reed Hospital a week or so ago. Signed and gave away 500 copies of...


'WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE and YOUNG'


...We did the Doc's and Nurses and walking wounded in the auditorium. Then loaded the books on carts and went ward to ward, bed to bed, visiting those who aren't mobile.

...They all have such great attitudes, such positive outlook, in the face of terrible human tragedy.

...Young men missing both arms or both legs; blinded by IED explosions.

...They were smiling so I smiled too.

...But when I got out of there I sat down and cried for all they have given."

...Signed:..JOE GALLOWAY




NEVER FORGET

Thank you so much for transferring to our prayer thread the link and the post 63 from ALOHA RONNIE.

I agree with you in your prayers for our wounded, those with the responsibility of breaking sorrowful news to families, and those who have lost friends in battle. Thank you for reminding us of these very special people.


:-) Thanks. We had SUCH a good time! I hope your Thanksgiving was as joyful! God bless you and yours!
