He looked great. He is working hard at therapy and is looking forward to getting out of the hospital. He is an amazing young man who needs our prayers. Please let him know that you are thinking about him and supporting him through his ordeal with your prayers. I went and saw Kevin this evening (4-18). He looked great.

I am a member of Delta Society of San Antonio. We have pet partners that visit at BAMC. While my Golden Retriever, Jazz, can't go into the burn unit, Kevin can come out and see her. He is an amazing young man who has a ton of courage. Obviously God has plans for Kevin or he wouldn't be here with us. I saw him on Easter and he looks really good. Please keep him in your prayers as he has a long and difficult road ahead of him. I have no doubt he will succeed! I am so grateful for soldiers lilke Kevin that keep our country safe. God bless all of them! As a vounteer at BAMC in San Antonio I have had the priveledge of getting to know Kevin first hand. I am a member of Delta Society of San Antonio.

I won't be around for a few days as we're enjoying our Spring Break. I may or may not post at night, but don't expect it. Before I leave, this is a great time to reply to a question I was posed last week: How can you support soldiers and still oppose the war? Ladies and gentlemen, this post and what you are saying you will do is how. Send letters and cards of support to wounded soldiers, non wounded soldiers, and thank veterans for their service. Support for THEM and their sacrifices wherever they may be. I'm blessed and feel supported just because you're willing to listen to a soldier's perspective. Yes, even those that disagree with me. Thank you too. Thank you to everyone willing to do this. I won’t be around for a few days as we’re enjoying our Spring Break. I may or may not post at night, but don’t expect it.
