Once again my better half is doing her part for our brave service people who have been injured or disabled doing their job....Windham Ski Center, located in the Catskill Mountains of NY is hosting this special event...the Adaptive Sports Foundation is working with the Wounded Warriors Project to provide 3 days of fun and brotherhood for our heros. Karen is one of the instructors and the media coordinator for the event. Over 30 service people and their families along with dozens of NYC fire dept volunteers will be there for the weekend. The media coverage will be huge.....there will also be many state and federal elected officials on hand to show support....this is a great event and is the high point of the winter season at Windham...yours truly will be there tomorrow and take some photos to share with you...I have attached links to some of the various organizations involved. Thanks...wilma

Went to the kick off luncheon yesterday for this great event...over 300 people attended..not counting the school kids. Our local congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand (D) was there along with Lt. Governor David Patterson (legally blind!)...the big hit was the school kids from the local 2nd and 3rd grade class..they dressed in patriotic fashion and sang God Bless the USA and It's a Grand Olde Flag...there wasn't a dry eye in the joint...I am so proud of Karen for helping to put this event together...we can never do enougn for our wounded warriors.

check out this kid's shirt!

Tom -

A sincere thanks to you and your wife and all involved from a career Soldier. I've lost a few friends here and in Afghanistan and several more have been injured, but it's great to hear that folks like y'all are sacrificing your free time for worthy causes such as this one.
