“Jack, For your information, Operation Cane of Texas has passed it's 400 mark, presenting it's 412th cane this past May 3rd at Brooke Army Medical Center. Operation Cane was born, as you will recall, after a conversation with you at Glen Rose, TX in Oct 2004. Since then we have made 9 trips to BAMC, presented canes at Ft Hood, mailed canes to Kuwait, Palo Alto, Ft Riley, Ft Bragg, Ft Campbell, Walter Reed and Bethesda not to mention the canes sent to individuals not in a facility. It has been a busy 6 (almost) years and very rewarding, especially getting to meet and talk with all the young men and women who are in need of these canes, God it has been rewarding! Sometimes I think I gained more than the Warriors did.
Walt”
