:
I am putting out the SOS for a Veteran who is suffering with the effects of war. Everybody recognizes the wounds of a guy who is missing a limb from war, but nobody can see David Larsen's wounds, the wounds that are deep inside of him.
When you are put in a situation, where you can be here today, and gone tomorrow, it does something to you.
He wants to surprise his fellow Vets at the Coatesville Veterans Hospital , which will fulfill an urgent need.
This is a message from David Larsen, a patient at the Coatesville Veterans hospital in PA. I met him in a crowd of over 44,567 fans at a Phillies vs. Marlins game on September 22. I hope somebody can help him! His telephone number is 856-535-8312. He is articulate, nice-looking and has a lot to say that would help fellow Americans understand what life on the battlefield is like and also coming home wounded. He is upbeat and interesting. My phone rang today. This is what he said.
Ma’am, I want to ask you something special. If you could get someone from a sports team to come to Coatesville VA Hospital, it would mean a lot to these soldiers. Many Americans do not appreciate what the Vets there went through to defend their country. The Vietnam Vets up here are so down because some people spit in their faces when they returned. The young guys coming home from Iraq need praise too. Do you know anyone from the Eagles, 76ers, Phillies, Flyers or any Philadelphia sports organizations? If somebody could just show up, it would show love and appreciation to the vets. I guess what I am saying is that a lot of guys haven’t been thanked properly and their spirits need a lift. These guys are sports enthusiasts. When the Eagles play, nobody walks in front of the television. They all put sports jerseys on, hats, scarves and Eagle, 76’ers, Phillies, and Flyers paraphernalia. You know, an eagle represents America. American soldiers will fight for our freedom, no matter where. Can you please help me to surprise the Vets with a visit from a member of a sports team?
