For over three years, Patriots of Greater Washington Chapter 353, MOPH and Ladies of Greater Washington Unit 353, LAMOPH welcome home and support American heroes wounded or injured in the Operations Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Enduring Freedom (OEF) during their stay and in-transit medical treatment at Malcolm Grow Medical Center (MGMC) at Andrews Air Force Base (AAFB), MD. The flights arrived several times per week. Irrespective of the hour and the weather, our group was always there with personal attention, gentle care, and thanks from all grateful Americans.
