It was a group of us that made our way from various locales across the country to meet in Washington, D.C. Our objective was the military bases around Ramstein, Germany. But first a stop at Walter Reed Medical Center to entertain the troops there and hopefully put a smile on the faces of our greatest American heroes.
This is Sunday night at dinner after we all arrive in Washington, D.C. Bill Amend shows Jack Davis a photo. Bill Hinds &, our fearless leader who brought this all about, Jeff Bacon.
It was an early call Monday morning. We had Walter Reed to cover and then the flights to get to Germany.
Here we go enteting Walter Reed Medical Center. That’s Jack Davis, Bill Hinds, Mike Ramierez, Jef Mallett, Bill Amend and Dave Coverly.
Here is a fuzzy photo of the amazing statue that greets you at the door of Walter Reed.
