"The First Lady makes a surprise call to Military Spouse Jessica Allen, mother of two, who spends all of her free time trying to help other young wives in the same situation she is in. Her husband, Charles (Chaz) Allen is in the Army and was injured while deployed in Afghanistan earlier this year. He lost both of his legs and is currently recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Jessica has been by his side throughout his recovery all while maintaining her career as a Tax and Financial Advisor at her own tax preparation business. She works with wounded warrior spouses, especially at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The hospital calls her a Model Military Spouse and the Command has asked her to be a liaison between spouses and the Command."

Thank goodness for Jessica Allen.

But what since WW11 has our country been involved in that is worthy of a man or woman losing their limbs. Shame on us.
