Do you want to make a significant difference in the day of a special American Warrior -- or two, or three, or as many as you wish?
If so, take a few moments to send an upbeat note(s). Email to Notes4Bethesda@MarineMoms-Bethesda.org. Wounded Warriors have such along road of recovery ahead of them. Marine Moms-Bethesda is a group of volunteers deeply involved with supporting troops. They host luncheons once a month at two hospital were wounded servicemen and women are recovering from war-inflicted injuries.
As always, Marine Moms-Bethesda is collecting NOTES 4 BETHESDA -- notes of encouragement to take along with the July luncheons. RICHMOND, JULY 8 – serving time: 11:00 AM; location to be determined. Serving the COMBAT patients, family members and their guests from the Polytrauma, Spinal Cord, and PTRP unit.
"The notes DO make a difference in a Warrior’s day! As the Fourth of July – Independence Day – approaches, please consider sending a message to those who have protected your FREEDOMS!So as you can see, some are short, some are even longer than this, and some come with clip art or pictures. If you include pictures and clip art, word documnts are preferred. The notes DO make a difference!
"We do not use the same notes twice because we see the same faces month after month, along with new faces that will be there the next time we visit. Sometimes we see them at Walter Reed, then at Richmond, and then back at Walter Reed again!
“I don’t know what to say!” Okay, well here are some samples from past notes. Maybe they will inspire you! (I hope the people who sent them don’t mind me sharing them.)
Dear Wounded Warrior,
My husband and I want to send you a quick note with our heartfelt gratitude and hopes that every day you feel stronger, and you will soon be able to go home and enjoy your time with your family. You have certainly earned it! Please know that you are always in our prayers and in our thoughts and that we, as well as many other grateful Americans, are here to serve you, although we could never repay you for what you have done for us. We will never forget you and promise we will honor you forever.
Lots of love and good wishes,

Hey y’all,
Thanks so much for your service for our country; I appreciate each and every one of you. I’m praying for y’all to continue to get better and better every day. You are all such an inspiration and you make me so proud. I’ll be so happy for each of you as you get well enough to get out of the hospital and be able to get out and have some fun….like go to a baseball game (I’m rather partial to baseball, GO RAYS!!) …I just had to throw that in there. Prayers and hugs being sent your way, ====== THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you’re feeling better soon. We are so Proud of YOU!
