Mrs. Watcher, even though I had just met you and your husband on 1 JUL 15. It was my pleasure being able to be of service to him as one of his nurse case managers at WRNMMC.

Dear Margarete and Family,
It always disturbs me to realize how little we know of those we've lived near to for so long. I was surprised and so impressed to learn of Andy's extensive military history. I assume, if he was like so many veterans, he was not in the habit of talking about his experiences yet I would have appreciated and felt so honored to have spent some time with him listening to what he could share. We appreciate his contributions on behalf of the country.
Of all the worthy charities, the Wounded Warriors Project is the one I've most favored. We are honored to send a contribution to them in Andy's name.
Jim and Judy Wilson
