I THANK YOU for your dedication and service to our Wounded Warriors. Not sure I could do the same without tearing up every day.
The “Graduates” would come to visit alot. They would strutt down the hall, showing of their prosthetic legs and arms. They would talk to the “Newbie” and their devastated families. After awhile the would say “We gotta go know. We have an appointment to go wind surfing on the Chesapeake. Next year YOU are coming with us.”
They lift the patients spirits and mine!!
Yogi Barre visited.
Patraeus came often. The patients loved him. Many generals would come on to the ward, with this “Look at me!” Patraeus wasn’t like that all. He was there for his men.
Fort Hood shooter was there at the time. He was creepy. How they didn’t weed him out is beyond me.
