Mother to Mother #8

Just wanted
the Blue Star Mothers to know how much support our Wounded Warriors get at Balboa Hospital, San Diego. Balboa put a new amputee wing on the hospital
for these conflicts. The Wounded Warrior
Barracks were packed with volunteers on
November 24 th. The San Diego North County Blue Star Mothers were represented
and got a round of applause from the hundreds of other volunteers.
We
decorated a small tree for each of the warriors. The halls were very festive
with Christmas and Hanukkah decorations by noon. There are large trees with
fruit and other treats under them on each floor.
Because of
the large retired military population in San Diego our sons and daughters are
not forgotten when they are sent to
Balboa for recovery.
The BSM
also give a dinner once a month for the
recovering military and their families.
