Fort Worth Air Force Association

Our black tie event was held 10 March, 2007. We were honored to have General Bruce Carlson, Commander, Air Force Materiel Command as our guest speaker.

Officials at Walter Reed Army Medical Center are seeking donations for wounded troops who are forced to leave behind personal belongings when medically evacuated from war zones. Many of the troops arrive with nothing. Because of the speed with which the most seriously wounded are evacuated from Iraq or Afghanistan, their belongings are often left behind and don’t catch up. The center is looking for everything from shoes, gloves, winter jackets, postage stamps, prepaid phone cards, and razors.  The Family Assistance Center requests that no cash or used items be donated. Among some of the more specialized needs are weightlifting gloves (for use by wheelchair patients), trousers with snaps or zips along the legs, umbrellas, and prepaid gas or grocery cards. Donations can be sent to:

Walter Reed Army Medical Center
Medical Family Assistance Center
Bldg. 2, 3rd Floor, Room 3E01
6900 Georgia Ave, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20307-5001

It’s just around the corner!  On Saturday, 10 March the next “Evening in Fort Worth” will be held at a new location - the Speedway Club at Texas Motor Speedway.  Stay tuned for more information.
