Our Marines and Corpsmen are healing slowly and surely, but they need encouragement on a regular basis because unlike a broken arm, their injuries can take years to heal and are life-altering. As you will read today, our PAL David has to learn to cope with having no depth perception, limited peripheral vision and limbs that don't work the way they used to, among other things. The longer these recoveries are, the more frustrating they can become, epsecially for someone who thinks he is alone in his struggles. You are a big part of our recovery teams. Your encouragement and and support are felt over the miles.

Thank you so much for keeping these wounded warriors supplied with cards and letters, tangible evidence that you care.
