Tracy Evans informed me that as of last Friday Joshua Sparling had about
two bags of mail waiting for him. :-) Of the ten listed patients in Mr. Kilmeade's article, we only located about half (with one of them having been transferred to another hospital). The rest, I'm happy to say, had already been discharged. We forwarded cards and care items where appropriate. In summary, we visited with Joshua by proxy, with Todd in person, and with Eva by phone. They were all very grateful for the love and caring.
I'm always amazed and humbled by how often these fine wounded warriors thank us for supporting them. Ironic, to say the least.
I would ask anyone considering writing these fine servicemembers to also include MSG Tracy Evans in your list - he was working past 10:00 on a Friday night just to ensure the other patients were receiving comfort items. His colleague - SSG Christian - I'm sure would appreciate some cards as well.

Coop, I am literally crying here. My story-telling often makes people cry, although that's usually when I'm doing it in person.
Would you like to see the slides from my vacation to the National Sewing Machine Museum? :)
