    Army Recovery Care Program

    A Christmas Wish from WCT
    By MaryTherese Griffin, Warrior Care and Transition

    To all of our Soldiers, It’s that time of year
    We honor and celebrate those we hold dear
    At Army Warrior Care, the stories we share
    Send a message to all of how much we care

    No wrapping is needed. No tinsel or bows
    Taking care of our Soldiers, at this we are pros!
    At Transition Units, the staff all do strive
    To help and support our Soldiers to thrive.

    Trying to find that new normal is one valiant way
    To help our heroes and families face each new day.
    Therapy, education, outings and such
    We give gladly to each, who gave us so much.

    Our wounded, ill and injured all have a place
    They will not be ignored, no that’s not the case
    Honoring our country’s promise to care
    For their needs and recovery it’s only fair.

    Struggles and triumphs like you’ve never seen
    Have highlighted this year of 2018!
    The art of exhibiting courage and saying Yes I can
    Are stories that started this year’s great plan

    Army Trials at Fort Bliss showed what can be done
    When wounded Warriors work hard for that spot to be won
    40 made up the team for Warrior Games
    Carrying with them The Army Name

    We honored our Nurses whose help we adore
    They give unconditionally yet still we ask more
    WCT has many moving parts
    Including our Advocates who have really big hearts!

    Physical therapy had many victories too
    Helping Soldiers see what more they can do
    Adaptive reconditioning got Soldiers back in the fight
    Overcoming many obstacles with all of their might.

    For some it was victory at Warrior Games
    And two in particular had special claims
    The “Ultimate Warrior” title to hold
    We proudly had two, one bronze and one gold

    The Career Skills Program added something new
    More jobs for our Soldiers in the WTU.
    For some The Next Chapter shared in a clear voice
    “Together by chance, United by choice”

    Invictus Games in Australia where the world competed
    Team U.S. won BIG – they were not defeated
    Games brought challenge to athletes of all sorts
    Showing how far they’ve come with the power of sports

    As always we honor our Caregivers true
    Who sacrifice unselfishly in all they do
    A Soldier’s recovery is what we all wish
    To take away stress, and all that anguish.

    This Holiday Season it’s our hope you’ll know
    Endless love and support we always will show
    For your service, sacrifice and everything you do
    It's OUR honor and privilege to serve all of YOU.
