Here are some pictures of the boys at Fuddrucker’s enjoying some chocolate chip cookies and playing with the stuff animal that one of Chris’s army buddies won from the game machine!
They are having a blast, although Alix appears to be a slight bit disturbed by the mess the cookies are making in his hand! =)
Elliot is having fun with his grandpa (Chris’s dad) playing with the stuff animal, and everyone is in good spirits, despite the fatigue from the road trip.
For the most part it was a fun and relaxing atmosphere, and we were grateful for the delicious food! This picture is of the front counter and the wonderful employees working there.
See how one man’s tragedy has turned into his life mission, and how he is helping other wounded warriors and their families in this inspiring video!
This was one of the best inspirational videos of 2014, according to Beliefnet.
Through this video, LT. Jason Redman’s mission, and the awareness he brings to all Americans about the sacrifices made in war for our freedom inspires hope for the fallen and their families.
Likewise, it inspires a hope within me that there are still kind, caring, and compassionate people in this world who are willing to push through their own pain and anger with their own circumstances to reach out to others with a hand full of hope and love.
It’s amazing how a person can take a tragedy like LT. Jason Redman’s and turn it into a positive, constructive, and helpful way to help others who are suffering the same or similar tragedies.
The absolute determination to make a difference in the world. The drive to see others through tough times. The hope and humanity that is inspired into others as a result. What a wonderful legacy to be a part of and to teach your children!
During his recover at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, LT. Jason Redman wrote and hung a bright orange sign on his hospital door letting visitors know before entering his room that pity or any sorrowful feelings for his wounds or what happened to him would not be accepted there, that he was injured doing what he loved and only positive feelings and attitudes would be allowed inside.
This sign became a statement and symbol for wounded warriors far and wide. It also gained national recognition and earned LT. Jason Redman and his wife and children an invitation to meet our (former) President George W. Bush. The original sign that LT. Jason Redman hung on his hospital door, which was signed by President George W. Bush, is now hanging up on a wall in the Wounded Ward at the National Naval Medical Center Bethesda.
Jason Redman is currently the Executive Director of Wounded Wear, a non-profit organization who’s vision is “to Guide combat-wounded warriors to find a purpose-driven life and peace of mind after the impact of war.”
