that would be interested in helping in the healing process for a soldier who recently returned from Iraq? This is a link to his story. Warning: there are some graphic pictures.

My friend Renee, her husband John,who just returned from his 2nd tour in Iraq,worked as a medic with Spc. Kevin Hardin while in Iraq. John found out about his partner's injury just as he returned to the States.
This past Friday, John traveled to D.C. to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to visit him.This was the 1st time Spc. Kevin Hardin had been out of the MedicalCenter since his arrival!! The injured soldiers that require daily therapy are housed here in a very nice suite. The only thing is they have to have someone live with them. Mostly to be there if they need anything, go with them to doctor appointments,offer as much encouragement as possible and the most important, go out in public with them to help with the healing process of being around people again and have them look and stare and ask questions.
The girl that is doing this now(not girlfriend, just someone his family found) does not do any of this. John said she stays to herself, IS NOT encouraging and does not go anywhere with him. He is looking for someone else to help him out during this time. If he doesn't find anyone, he has to leave this nice suite and move into the barracks!! I know this sounds odd, that is what I thought when John told me today. I thought maybe a widowed man or woman or a mature adult. The person they find to do this needs to live in the suite with him. It is like a little apartment. If you know of anyone please let me know and I will forward the information on. Please share this with anyone you think would be interested
