My visit to Walter Reed Army Hosital

Recently I got a chance to visit Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington DC.  Walter Reed is one of our biggest military hospitals where our troops are taken if they are injured while defending our country.  This was the second time I have had the privilege of visiting and thanking our wounded warriors and wanted to share my visit there with all of my blog readers. 

Having been to Walter Reed once before, I thought I would be much more mentally prepared for this visit than the last time I went.  I thought it wouldn't hit me as emotionally to see our bravest troops laying in there beds in pain as they gave such a sacrifice to our country.  But, I was wrong.  It hit me just as hard and made for a very emotional day.  I had the chance to visit with quite a few of the troops and their families.  My friends at Subway had given me some really cool signed autographs by Michael Phelps and Yankee legend Bucky Dent to pass out.  It was such a great feeling to see these guys smile, even for a bit.  They asked me about my story and how the commercials are going, and I asked them about their service to our country.  Many of them were in obvious pain from their injuries but all of them seemed so brave as we talked about a lot of different things. 

I want to thank Walter Reed Hospital for allowing me to come in and spend a few hours visiting with everyone.  It gave me yet again such a feeling of thankfullness for all these young men do for our country.  I look forward to my next visit there in the near future to say thank you for our troops giving so much for all of us.
