SEND LETTERS TO
A WOUNDED HERO
AT BETHESDA'S
WALTER REED

An American hero, Cpl. Joseph Mille, recently arrived at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center here in Bethesda.

Cpl. Mille was seriously wounded when an IED detonated as he dashed to assist a wounded comrade (who survived), in Afghanistan.

Recently, he was able to leave the intensive care unit. His sister tells the Press of Atlantic City that Cpl. Mille is "in pretty good spirits. He's more worried about his friend that was hurt. He keeps on repeatedly thanking his nurses and doctors, and they all say the same thing - that they should be thanking him."

Cpl. Mille can receive your letters and well wishes at:

Cpl. Joseph Mille
Room 458
8901 Rockville Pike
Bethesda, MD 20889

Hi Robert,

My name is Terry Dougherty and I am a teacher in Galloway, NJ. My students from Roland Rogers were able to send about 70 Valentine's Day cards to Corporal Mille last week. We are also gathering more cards and letters and will send them out as I receive them.
Let me know if there is anything else we can do.
