Thank you to Linda Rasnake (FRSA: the WTB Care Coordinator at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center) for putting together this wonderful caregiver luncheon today at the USO Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (Nov. 14, 2018)
Linda made this wonderful banner for Mrs. Hollyanne Milley, wife of the Army Chief of Staff, who was present today. The banner had photos of our faces. That was such a nice personal touch. And she and her husband also made these clocks for some of the caregivers with our faces on it. Really nice! Very thoughtful
Linda is so incredibly helpful, full of support, love and encouragement.
I thank God for her! Even though she is supported on our base by the Army she goes out of her way to get to know each of us and doesn't turn anyone away based on which brand of military our loved one is serving. (Mine is Navy)
She has so much valuable knowledge that helps us (NMA's and Military Caregivers) get through the difficult transitions and adjustments that happen when you go through something devastating like this.
Especially when you are suddenly put in a position or medical crisis that changes your whole world. This enormous weight of responsibility is given to us by the military, as you are a trusted caregiver for your service member. ❤️🙏
