"Warriors in Transition"
at Ft. Campbell

Many of you are familiar with the wonderful facilities for our wounded heroes at Walter Reed Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Center in the DC area.   However, you may not be aware that many of our vets are being treated here in Tennessee at Ft. Campbell.  As one who visits the hospitals for our wounded with various celebrities on a regular basis, I can tell you from personal experience how much these visits mean to them.   I wanted to make you aware of the facilities at Ft. Campbell and encourage you to arrange a celebrity visit when the opportunity presents itself.  A dear friend of mine who was severely wounded in Iraq says it much better than I ever could.  Please take a moment to read his words below and I hope you will support our "Warriors in Transition" at Ft. Campbell in the future.

I don't know if I need to put this in any kind of "official" format, but we would like the "celebs" to just come and "grip and grin" or sign autographs if  they want. They can come and visit anytime between 0730 and 1630, Monday thru Friday. It is weird, but for some reason when "celebs" come visit and say "thank  you", it means a large difference in the "Warriors in Transition" recovery/state  of mind. They feel that a "celeb" visiting them makes what they are doing that much more important and the "civilian" sector respects and appreciates them more. I can try and help you as much as possible but our Outreach person is listed below. He will be the coordinator for these visits and could help you out with any other "information on the logistics piece". Please feel free to contact him. He is aware of what I am trying to do and is more than willing to help.  Let me know what else I can help you with. Thanks again for your help with this and what you do for our Servicemen and women.
