Warriors and Heroes...

We went to the Warrior Family Support Center in Fort Sam Houston last night....
A 12,000-square foot Texas ranch-style home adjacent to BAMC and the Center for the Intrepid—a cutting-edge rehabilitation center for burn and amputee patients.The project, funded entirely through the generosity of the San Antonio community.
The buildings will stand as a testament of America’s promise, that together with our wounded warriors and their families, this battle will be fought and won.
We had the privilege of making dinner for the wounded warriors and their families....
we served them....and visited with them...and held their children while they ate....
we prayed with some and laughed with others...I wish you could see each one of these men and women...and thank them for their service.
I wish you could thank their children for their sacrifice.

They are some of the most gracious and kind people I know.

This place is a symbol that will never allow our heroes to be ignored or forgotten.

This place is the very life and future for the men and women who are willing to lay down their lives for us...so we don't have to.

look for an opportunity today....
Pick up their tab at lunch or dinner....say thank you...

God, Thank You for our freedom.

In His Dust,
DCC
