A letter from Dot Calm to the Chaplain at Walter Reed

Dear Colonel Wiley:

I was saddened to see and hear all the bad publicity Walter Reed has been getting of late.

Our daughter is an engineer who works in the evaluation of upper limb prosthetics. She and her research team recently visited Walter Reed and had nothing but praise for the treatment of our wounded. It is unfortunate that not all of our wounded are receiving the kind of care our daughter witnessed. I hope the problems are resolved in a timely fashion.

Enclosed are fifty more cards to celebrate the arrival of the spring season. Each has a small piece of chocolate to express acknowledgment and thanks to those brave men and women who served our country so valiantly.

Please distribute these cards at your discretion. Also, let these brave soldiers know that their fellow Americans will keep them in their thoughts and prayers for speedy recovery and safe return to their families.

And lastly, thank you for all you do. Peace!

Sincerely,

Dot Calm
