cavallaro council visits
Walter Reed Army Hospital

September 19th, 2009


Recently, a group of our members, myself included, returned from a trip to our nation's capitol. While there, we paid a visit to Walter Reed Army Hospital to show our support for our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of the men and women we visited were badly wounded but in every case we were greeted with a smile and a thank you for spending a few minutes with them. I know that it will take some extended rehabilitation for them to lead a fairly normal life. I also know that to a man or woman their spirit was bright and their love of country was without question. They would do it all over again if they had the chance. And with all of this, these heroes thanked us for giving a few minutes of our time. We assured them that it is the nation that is thankful for their sacrifice. We gave each of them several gifts, some letters from young school children that expressed love and support, and Godspeed on behalf of Joseph B Cavallaro Council. The exchange of emotion was intense and something I will cherish all my life.
