A Military Thank You

To everyone at EAST,

I just wanted to take a few minutes and write an email to all of you within the EAST organization. Thank you for the wonderful experience in Orlando. It was an honor to stand in front of the EAST members in attendance. It was an amazing event and I was so happy that I could be part of it. We had a great time at the convention and we enjoyed meeting everyone and learning more about the organization.

I wanted to say thank you for everything you did for me and my wife and most importantly just being noticed and praised for my story. I owe my life to the amazing medical care that was provided to me from the moment I was shot until the present time. I am so thankful for all the members of EAST for developing, implementing, and carrying out the plans for medical care, not only for me- but also for every soldier that has fought in the current conflicts. — Paul Bartolome
