For the DC guys, I asked a good friend of mine his thoughts. He is a prior Marine and a great guy. His first impression is below:
"As for reaching out to our wounded guys, the guy you need to talk to is 1stLt Oliverio, who is the driving force behind the "Wounded Marine" Program at Bethesda. I'll send you a separate email with him cc'd, or you can contact him directly -- he's in the global. Denis Oliverio. He's a former enlisted V-22 crew chief here, got picked up for OCS, did a tour in Iraq as a tank platoon commander and got taken out by an IED. He's had a bunch of reconstructive surgeries but you'd be hard pressed to tell. He is a force of nature and has single handedly put together this program to help the wounded Marines at Bethesda do something other than just sit around and feel sorry for themselves."
Let's stop whinning about ourselves (not you DC guys) and reach out. I'll post the particulars when I get them.
