Thanks Coop and Landry Fan - great report!

I received nearly 60 home made Christmas/Thank you cards from an elementary school class in New York. Since Joshua was not accepting visitors, a WR employee/soldier offered to hand deliver some of the cards to give them that personal touch.

I took the balance to Malogne house and handed them out. There was a grandma that had raised her wounded warrior grandson and was deeply touched by the outpouring of love and appreciation she has seen for our troops. I can see how she raised a hero, she was an amazing woman.

It is an honor to visit with these awesome men and women. More goodies are on the way and hopefully I will be able to deliver them this week.

I received two boxes this morning from an angel in Maine, that I believe is sending you some goodies as well. :-)

I purchased five books from Amazon last week and had them sent to Joshua Sparling requesting that he share them with recovering soldiers.

Thank you for the Christmas gift of sharing this mission with those of us who cannot do so in person. I'm certain that all our hearts were with you.

For some reason, I no longer have sound on my computer. And now after reading your post, my screen is all blurry. What next??

Thank you for your report and all that you do.

Thank you. I hope my pics turned out. If so, I will add them. Of course, I asked permission before I took anyone's picture.

These are the greatest people in the world.

Yes, that is correct! Now I am anxiously awaiting for my mail to be delivered. (tapping foot) ;*)

I believe two other states are now waiting until after Christmas, trying to have the cheer last a bit longer.

God bless you and your fellow "Smotherers" for your good works which no doubt are greatly appreciated by those in need at Walter Reed.
