BufordP and mgta remind us that our wounded heroes on Friday nights ride this bus;
Thanks to The Aleethia Foundation. Who is The Aleethia Foundation? Glad you asked :
Just wanted to update you on the Friday Night Steak Dinners for our injured service members recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. As you recall, Hal Koster, former co-owner of Fran OBriens Steak House, started free steak dinners back in October 2003 and in April 2006 the restaurant lost its lease at the Capital Hilton Hotel location. Your group and other military bloggers fought a great battle to assist in getting the word out in hopes to overturn the Hiltons decision and Hal greatly appreciated your efforts.
Hal founded The Aleethia Foundation, a fully volunteer organization (www.aleethia.org) and through many challenges Hal has been able to continue these dinners. Since May 5, 2006, it has been a moveable feast. Several venues including the Capitol Hill Club, City Club, Mortons Army Navy Club, Washington Golf and Country Club have offered space for the dinners. Corporations, AEI, Ambassadors of Italy, Australia, Taiwan, Israel, and many others have sponsor dinners at their facilities. On this Friday, October 17th, we will have our 5th year reunion of the Friday Night Steak Dinners, with many of our first time service members returning to DC.
We'll be back out at Walter Reed Friday night, October 31, Halloween, Come Scare some Moonbats! from 6:30 until at least 9:30 at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW in Washington, D.C. The wounded warriors inside the hospital are heartened by the sight of ordinary citizens cheering for them and displaying our thanks for the service and sacrifice they've made on our behalf.
Directions to our Walter Reed freep location from the Takoma metro station,.
Thanks to BufordP for Keeping the BIG LIST: All DC Chapter Walter Reed FReeps
Also, Tom the Red hunter reminds:
The good news is that there are fewer troops there than in past years. The reason, of course, is the success of the surge in dampening violence.
This said there are still plenty of troops there. Remember that Walter Reed is a rehabilitation facility, so these troops and their families are there for years. We have encountered heaven knows how many who have been there for two or three years with time to go because their injuries are so severe. Many go back home but back to WR for additional surgery or therapy.
THEREFORE, WE STILL NEED DONATIONS

Now that your through ralphing your guts out over Zero’s info lies, here’s the DC Chapter’s AAR for last Friday at Walter Reed.
As VictoryNY says: God Bless our brave soldiers, God Bless our military families - AMEN!
But..Thank you for the ping, this is much more enjoyable than O.
By the way, I didn’t watch his deceivamercial.
To summarize the deceivomercial - “All the world is dark and lonely but I the light giver will save you.”
Poor families the unions drove Old Dixie down with unrealistic benefits and now there’s nothing for them.
Now, the SATAN PATRIOT, Barack Obama must be defeated, relocated, maybe reconstituted.
If I lived in your neck of the woods, I would be with you there at Walter Reed Hospital.
Thank you for what you do,
BatGuano
God Bless you for standing vigil with our FR brothers and sisters and FRiends at WRAMC. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Yep - Satin Patriot will be missed. Her and VictoryNY's Support the Troops cheers had become standard fare at Walter Reed and Olney.
[Mr] T
Satin Patriot has promised to stay active and return to visit WR and stand with us when her travel allows.
All the best success to her in her new role.
GOOD DEAL!!
[Mr] T
