From Chaplain Campbell of Warrior's Sanctuary:Last weekend while my wife and I were returning from a quick shopping trip we saw some flashing lights on the other side of the freeway. Not from a police car or a fire truck. The flashing lights were from large "Am Buses" transporting our wounded warriors to Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Navy Medical Center at...

Lots of folks say "if you support the war, enlist". Well, we've sent troops into battle undersupported, with multiple extensions of the tour of duty, and Walter [...]
