Part I - Cookout For Our Wounded Warriors and Families At WRAMC's Mologne House

This post is from Tankerbabe's blog titled "From Cow Pastures to Kosovo"I am still in shock that some great Americans made it possible for me to be in DC this weekend. Twana, Peri, Tiana, Candy and Gene there will never be a way I can thank you enough.I flew into Dulles and began an hours long odyssey on a shuttle van to what seemed to be nowhere until my dear friend Lynn rescued me at one of the shuttle stops. I was staying with Lynn anyway but trying to keep her from having to fight the rush hour traffic. It was definitely an experience.Friday morning Lynn and I got up bright and early to get to WRAMC for the cookout. We stopped to pick up burgers, buns and other items Lynn has been assigned then off to the hospital. We pulled up to the Mologne House just as Concretebob (CB) was unloading his truck. CB was in charge of this event and had his truck loaded down with food and beverage. We got everythiing unloaded and CB took off for Reagan National Airport to pick up some Marines who were coming into town for the weekend from BMAC (Brooke Army Medical Center) in San Antonio.We were more than thrilled when we walked through the breezeway and saw the two new tents that had been donated by the American Legion for the patio area. A huge HOOOOOOOOOOAH to the American Legion for that gift. Definitely needed for many reasons. On our cookout day they were an incredible help in keeping us out of the almost constant light drizzle. On sunny days they will allow the Wounded to relax out of the sunGrills got fired up and volunteers took on the cooking duties
