Local AMVETS Meet Gary Sinise

The five Derby/Shelton AMVETS Post 43 members and the AMVETS past state commander who were representatives of the co-sponsors of the February 3rd Operation Gift Cards visit to the Walter Reed National Military Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland met actor Gary Sinise during their visit. 

The representatives were distributing thank you kits to wounded out-patients in building 62. Gary was leading a large group of wounded warriors and their families on a 4 day trip to Los Angeles. 

Al Meadows and Gary had the opportunity to discuss the superb quality of care the patients were receiving and the high moral of the wounded warriors. Gary described the organization of the trip which he was leading. 

All the OGC representatives were grateful for the opportunity to meet Gary Sinise who has devoted so mush of his time and energy in assisting wounded warriors and disabled veterans.
