Flight Simulators for Wounded Warriors
I hope you don't mind me sticking out my hand requesting donations of Flight Simulators for the Wounded Warriors staying at Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda... Yes, Bethesda Naval is renamed Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
I have a group of budding dedicated helicopter pilots. We meet every Thursday in the America building with the consent of the American Red Cross. If you have a simulator you are not using and would like to donate it, please contact me.
I will provide an address to ship directly to the Red Cross office on post.
This is very good therapy for amputees and traumatic brain injury patients. It occupies many hours of their time at a point in their lives when they need positive things to think about.
Send me a PM through the RCU system and I will get back to you.
I have been building and flying planes and helicopters with these vets for a couple of years. I am looking for someone in the area to assist with the program. You will need to be able to get cleared to work on post. Background check and clearance.

RE: Flight Simulators for Wounded Warriors
Sorry I don't have anything to help you with.
I think what you're doing is a Fantastic thing! I am a Vietnam Combat 100% disabled Veteran It's guys like you that stand out above the rest! You're right, These guys need all the uplifting they can get and you're doing that job.. Have you thought about contacting Horizon Hobby, Great planes or any of the other Simulator companies to see of they would back your efforts? Couldn't hurt. It would be a tax write off for them. Good luck in this endevour.
My hats off to you my friend!
Thank you so very much for what you're doing!
