Feb 14th thru the 21 is National Salute to a Hospitalized Veteran Week
There are many veterans who are hospitalized but I’m getting the word out about one in particular. He’s a soldier who was injured while on a deployment in Iraq in early 2007. He was attached to FM’s unit at the time and he continues to recover from injuries he sustained, injuries which required having a leg amputated.
This young man lost more than a leg ~ his wife left him and he’s lost touch with many friends due to his extended stay in the hospital. He certainly could use a little cheering up and, more importantly, a reminder he’s not forgotten.
If you want to send a card and/or a care package, please leave a comment or email me directly and I’ll send his address.

I would love to have his address so our family could send him a Valentine package. We have a son in the Air Force.

Hi Patti, Please forward his address to me (I think you have my email address but if not, let me know).
I mailed a book to you a couple days ago. I sent it Media Mail so it will take about a week.

Thanks for sending a card ~ I’m sure he’ll appreciate hearing from the both of you.

I hate to hear these types of things really do happen . . . you know the wife leaves her injured husband . . . if only some of us were that lucky to have an injured husband . . . you know what I mean. I would be happy to send a card . . .
