Lots of fun for wounded troops at BAMC
The Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC), in San Antonio, TX, is the No. 1 care center for burn patients and will soon be the No. 1 care center for amputees and traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. It is to BAMC that most of the wounded troops from the War on Terror go to begin their road to recovery.
You can imagine how hard it is for wounded troops and family members to go through the process of recovery: changing bandages, cleaning wounds, the needles, therapy and, most importantly, getting used to a new life style.
That is why the Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes is very involved in not only providing financial assistance but in bringing some fun activities to the service members and their families, such as hunting trips, concerts, football, basketball, hockey, and baseball games, as well as fishing trips. For example, we have lots planned for service members and their families this March. In San Antonio, we are taking 20 troops to a WWE event at the AT&T center and we are hosting a gala event for more than 50 troops. In Houston, four troops are going fishing and later on there will be a skydiving jump, where one of our spokespeople will be jumping from more than 10,000 feet up in the air!
These are just a couple events that CSAH has scheduled. We hold many events all year across the nation but the ones where the wounded troops and families are involved are the most rewarding for us.
We provide these activities to be fun, to help the wounded troops and their families relax and to let them forget, for a little while, the hard times at the hospital.
Please visit out Website for upcoming events. If there is one near you please attend and spend some time with our heroes.

This is such awesome info. I did not know about what you do for troops at the hospital. I have family who has been hurt in the war and needs help. I will let them know about your programs.
Thanks for all you do.
