Visit to Brooke Army Medical Center, Jan. 17, 2009

The Veterans of Valor Team traveled to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, TX, Jan. 17, to deliver packs to combat wounded burn victims there. Veterans of Valor also hosted a Night Out at Dave & Busters for wounded veterans and their families.

San Antonio City Councilwoman Delicia Herrera attended the event, and spoke words of encouragement to the 87 gathered BAMC outpatients and family members. Two San Antonio Spurs Silver Dancers also attended for a picture and autograph session. Guests were provided a roast beef dinner and unlimited game cards.

"If it weren't for events like these," said one veteran, "I'd be sitting home alone tonight. Thank you."
