PFC Hunter Levine needs to feel the love we have for him

Every once in a while I'll be forwarded an email that breaks my heart. This is one of them. Pfc. Hunter Levine needs to feel the love and support this country has for him. There are too many who do not know exactly how special they are to us. Here is a chance to do something for one of them. There are many in this country who want to send cards, letters, care packages, but have no idea who to send them to. If you know of any wounded soldier in need of some TLC, add the name and where to send it to on the comment section of this post or email me. We'll see what we can do.

I need your support! Please get a card or package to our wounded
brother that is up in the VA Hospital in palo Alto, CA. It is urgent that
he get love and support of his countrymen who care! Keep him and his family
in your prayers.
Thank you so much!
God Bless you!
Continue to pray for them that keep us safe!!



Subject: [modestobluestarmothers] Cards needed

Passing this all along as I just received...thanks in advance for any
cards & prayers -

All-

I know a young man who is in desperate need of help. His name is
PFC Hunter Levine. He is 20 years old and hails from Houston, Tx.
He was in my company and was wounded on 9 May, 2008 while
conducting combat operations in East Baghdad. He recieved a very
serious injury to his face, resulting in the loss of his entire
bone structure, mouth, nose, and vision.

He was evacuated to Walter Reed Hospital where the Doctors
performed numeorus surgerys to repair his face. I was fortunate
enough to attend a Purple Heart Ceremony at Walter Reed while I
was home on leave in June. I was also able to meet with Hunter's
father Beau.

Hunter was transferred to a VA hospital in Palo Alto, where the
best care for his vison would be available. He is a true fighter
with a heart of gold. Unfortuntaly, I recieved some bad news from
the hospital doctors. Lately, he has been resisiting treatment
and being somewhat combative with the hospital staff. He has had
a few outbursts and the staff is real worried about him. It seems
like a serious case of depression is setting in. Although his
wounds on the outside may look bad, they may never compare with
the wounds he has on the inside.

I spoke with him on the phone this evening, and he seemed real
down. The reality is that he still has a long road to recover and
may never see again. This young man has everything to live for
and is a true inspiration. He is exactly the kind of person we
would all want in a brother, son, or friend. I feel obligated to
try and rally some support for him.

I know we have a lot of caring people out there who would love to
do something sepcial for an outstandig American who gave his all
for his country. If you know of any church groups, school room
classes, or other benevolent organizations that would be
interested in assiting this brave young man, please forward this
message on to them as well.

He is a pretty typical young man, so he likes sports and other
typical young men stuff. A small care package with some goodies
and such would mena the world. Again, please forward this message
to as many people as you know. It would be so great if we can all
give way togther and show Hunter that his country will never
forget his sacrifices or service. He is down and needs our help.
Thank you for your support...it means everything.
