wounded warriors news letter April 20, 2006
Colonel Folsom,
I just have to say yet again...THANK YOU!!! I don't think I could say it enough. This trip was so wonderful and it was just what we needed. Please if there is anyway that we can ever do to help repay you for your kindness PLEASE let us know. We had such a wonderful time, and we are so encouraged now to get back in the fight and get James better so he can stay in the Army. Please know that you mean the world to our family and to lots of other families to come! Please continue to do what you do, and we are going to tell the world about you and your kindness. The seven day pass was perfect for us, too. Three of the days we had to leave the parks early because James' back gave out, so having the seven days took away any pressure to hurry up and conquer Disney in one day! Although I think Emily could have done it if we had let her. Please add us to your newsletter list so we can stay up to date on how Wounded Warriors is doing and any needs that you may find that we can help spread the word about. THANK YOU again!!!!!! Please keep in touch with us about Wounded Warriors’ progress, and we will do the same. Love,
James, Keli and Emily
Wounded Warriors hosted our first family in our new condominium located within the Bahama Bay complex, just south of Orlando. The photo tells the story. James suffered horrible injuries in a helicopter accident during combat operations in Iraq. He is lucky to be alive, and although he may never fly again, he will continue his career in the army.
We will have another family who will stay with us next week and others scheduled throughout the summer.
Our ability to offer this is because of your generous donations. It couldn't have happened without you.
Wounded Warriors is truly a grassroots organization that relies on you. Please forward to your friends and colleagues our newsletter and ask that they do likewise.
A personal note...
I have returned to Omaha from active duty, taken off the Superman suit and returned to the private sector. Although I am no longer on active duty, I will always serve our Corps in some capacity.
