Article in Wake of Walter Reed
John Davenport/Express-NewsArmy Specialist Lucas Schmitz, 22, looks at his prosthetic leg in the doorway of his room at at Brooke Army Medical Center. With a general, a colonel and other high ranking officers standing just feet away, Schmitz said he was being treated well and couldn't speak to the conditions at Walter Reed because he's never been there.
So this is what Lukes apartment looks like, some of it anyway, just the room portion. But no, not all soldiers receive poor care as a result of the military. Luke has been taken care of by the best doctors and in my mind, the ones who saved his life twice. Yes, it is unfortunate that soldiers are being treated poorly after their injuries and I cant imagine the frustration by them and their loved ones. But do note not all soldiers get the shaft.
Starting on Saturday, Luke and I are taking a much needed vacation for a whole week! We are heading down to Corpus Christi to enjoy a quiet, stress-free (hopefully) and relaxing get away after one heck of a year. Dont be jealeous! :)
