Also, MG Perry Smith (USAF ret.) has written another piece for the Augusta Chronicle praising community efforts, including those that have completed the campaign to fully fund Augusta's second Fisher House, the home away from home for wounded warriors' family members. This breaks ground December 9th on the campus of the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center, and shows the community's total commitment to not only the wounded warriors coming to Augusta for care at our Active Duty Rehab Unit, but also serves as an endorsement of the unique partnership that Eisenhower Army Medical Center has with our VA Medical Center.
