I am still smiling! Got back from TX last night after flying out this weekend to meet my wounded soldier. I had no idea what he looked like but was sitting eating lunch at the Christmas party for the wounded when a member of Soldiers Angles came walking over to me with a huge smile on his face and a gentleman beside him. I knew right away it was Nelson.
This is after they'd been on a man hunt for the past hour to find him as they said he'd checked out last week ( incorrect info there ) He'd been sitting at another table having lunch before introducing himself to the founder of Soldiers Angels.
So after the initial shock he sat down and we chatted for 2 1/2 hours! I got to give him a laptop for Christmas, supplied by Soliders Angels and all the cards and goodies I'd brought with me. He was so surprised by the cards from everyone on here and he opened and read every single one.
It was so wonderful and we could have sat and chatted for much longer. Everyone else had long packed up and left and it was just the 2 of us sitting outside still talking away.
I even made it to the Alamo 10 minutes before they closed, so I can officially say I've been.
Thanks again to everyone who sent cards and goodies!
