Note on the Intrepid Fallen Heros Fund--they just built an incredible rehabilitation center here in San Antonio at the Brook Army Medical Center to help teach injured soliders/sailors/Marines/airmen to adapt to life with their injuries, mostly amputations. I highly this organization and the Fisher Houses if you want to help those returning from war with injuries.
