Walter Reed Hospital Event
Hi guys, sorry for being forward and being out of my region. Saturday May 14th there is an event at Walter Reed Hospital.
It's a car show for the wounded soldiers at the hospital, in the parking lot. I was figuring that maybe anyone close that was not going to be at BG this year might be interested in supporting this event. I posted this in your section because the hospital is in your region. The thread is over at corvette forum. It's a sticky in the northeast events section at the top of the page. The thread's title is " A Day with our Wounded Warriors". Thanks for your time! Tom

Re: Walter Reed Hospital Event
I don't know if the V is interesting enough, but I'd be up for this thing if they settle on a date!

Re: Walter Reed Hospital Event
Bob, I'm sure the V would have been just fine.
David, I just got a similiar message. It was a copy of a message sent to the guy I met on the Forum who was coordinating the Walter Reed Event. The message was sent by the event Program Manager. "We cancelled the the 5/14 program because we were not able to bring together the elements of the entire program. The program is specifically designed to deliver an excellent "Salute Our Nations Wounded Heroes" out of respect for their extent of their courage and sacrifice to protect the freedoms each one of us so fully cherish and enjoy. Be assured, the event team will keep you and your drivers as part of our planning for the next event we conduct to honor these families." |
