Walter Reed is just one of many places that our wounded heroes are being
treated at. I've been part of Operation Restore Faith since almost the
beginning, and we've sent tons of stuff to Landstuhl in Germany as well as
Walter Reed.
We have around 200 soldiers here in our medical hold company at Fort Gordon
(home of Eisenhower Army Medical Center) and a similar number that exceeds
the Army's capacities so they are at the local VA Hospital.
Phone cards are high on their lists. We're trying to get a Christmas party
together for them next week. We were arranging a Christmas dinner in local
volunteer's homes, but the soldiers thought that they would be uncomfortable
in someone elses home.
Obviously the Army is trying to get them mobile for the holidays so that
they can spend some time at home. I'm trying to get a number of how many
will physically be in the hospital for Christmas and organize something for
them.

I just got an email from Texas Bob. This seems like a very good idea. They
sell phone cards everywhere, 7/Eleven, the Post Office. Five bucks isn't
really that much at all.

If you have not yet sent phone cards to some of our young
wounded heroes at Walter Reed Hospital, please consider
doing so soon. Even a $ 5.00 one will help.
Send to:

Also, if you use a AT&T card, you can now transfer minutes
directly from your card to Medical Center.
