A Thank You from Overseas

To all who have been sending gifts to our wounded warriors
Here is a copy of a letter we received this week from the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center:
I am writing to thank you for supporting America's sons and daughters who are making hard sacrifices for our precious freedom. Your donations provide both comfort and encouragement for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and their family members that come to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and Ramstein Air Force Base. Your generosity makes it possible for us to assist these wounded warriors and their families.
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center is a beacon of healthcare for America's servicemen and women abroad. Spiritual support through Pastoral Services and your gifts enhance the holistic healthcare we provide for all those who proudly perform their duty.
What you have given blesses these precious men and women. I want to thank you for your caring and compassionate service to all those who serve their country so well.
Blessings and peace,
James R. Griffith
Chaplain (Colonel) U. S. Army
Chief of Pastoral Services
