Mullpal Brian Worth brought them to my attention and wrote in an e-mail:

I wanted to pass along some more info about the volunteer group I'm with up at Walter Reed. The group is called CAUSE, and here is a link to their webpage www.cause-usa.org

It was started by 4 West Pointers/Vietnam vets and their wives. CAUSE provides entertainment services at WRAMC, mostly for the outpatient folks and their families at the Mologne House, but also for the soldiers and Marines who are in the hospital, when possible.

The main thing we do up there is staff and run the digital library, where the wounded and their families can check out Playstations, X-box, games, and DVDs, free of charge. The library is run out of Mologne House and they have it open from 6-8 Monday through Thursday and usually for 4 hours on both Saturday and Sunday (my team is responsible for keeping shop on Monday nights).

CAUSE also puts on events such as bringing in stylists from a local salon to give haircuts and manicures to the wives/girlfriends/mothers, and they set up a Monte Carlo night every 6-8 weeks.

They're doing their first fundraising gala this coming Saturday. From what I can tell, they want to raise enough money to be able to expand the operation, either to other medical centers or so that we can expand the digital library to those men and women who are still in the hospital.

Thanks for all that you do in support of these guys. I'm positive that it helps them to know that we care about them and appreciate their sacrifice.

Brian

Take a look. See what you think.
Thank you.

You have to wonder how the Schmuck Brothers ever got out of junior high school alive?
