Support for our fighting men and women.

[Fishbear]

I was listening to the radio today on the way home, and this woman was talking about Ward 57 at Walter Reed Hospital. For those of you that do not know. Ward 57 is where the most seriously injured soldiers end up for many months even years for rehab. Some of them have lost limbs, other body parts, even most of their face.

They had no way to ease the boredom and tension from the day to day trials of trying to live and survive, after sacrificing themselves for our freedom.

This woman started Operation Ward 57. To gather donations to help these soldiers out with things we take for granted, a TV in the main rec room of the ward. Videos, video games, etc.... These are young men, and used to having things to do at all times.

They have football jersys that you can buy, with funds going to help these heroes. Or you can just make a donation.

We support these troops as they march off to war, or as they come back with all the guys and gals they served with, but it seems the seriously injured ones are "forgotten". They need to know we still support them and appreciate them for all of the sacrifices they have made, so we can be free to buy $300 rods and $200 reels, and go fishing when and where we want.

This weekend is the celebration of our freedom... That would not be happening except for our veterans, fighting men and women, who keep a dangerous vigil while we all sleep comfortably in our homes, and plan cookouts and fishing trips.

Just visit the website, and do what you can to help out. I already did.
