CJ and a Few Visitors - AWESOME!!!!!


I got this email from a friend.

Proud of our "Saints" and more proud of our
American military.

CJ is the son of a man who works with my son-in-law, Geoffrey.
Had to share this story of our amazing Saints with all of you.
--- Cheryl

Here are more reasons to be a Saints fan. CJ is the son of a VP at my
company
who wrote the email below. CJ was seriously wounded in Afghanistan and as
you'll read in the email below, has been in Walter Reed for a very long time
and
has endured many surgeries. When the Saints went to visit Walter Reed after
leaving the White House, they heard about the Louisiana native and were all
excited to meet him and all spent a very long time with him. We look at the
Saints as a big deal, but even after just meeting the president and being
honored as champs, they all recognized and knew that CJ is the real hero.

Attached are a few pictures from yesterday. New Orleans Saints came to
Walter
Reed after their visit to the White House. Notice a couple of things:

1. CJ is standing in each picture. Since Saturday he has worn his shoes
all day, walked everywhere (Saturday was 1st time he has worn shoes and
walked
more than 5 steps in 53 days), and refuses to get in his bed during the day.
He
is getting stronger physically which is going along with his mental and
spiritual strength which has been there all along.

2. Color in his face is back and he has gained back about 15 of the 28 lbs
he lost.

The Saints were very gracious. If you are a fan, you can be very proud of
the class they showed. Hospital staff said they spent more time there than
anyone ever has. They told Robin CJ was special to them because he is from
Louisiana. They really went out of their way. They all signed his flag and
one of them gave him a Saints hat and the rest signed when they came to see
him. Coach Payton gave us his cell number and invited us to spend a weekend
in New Orleans as their guests when CJ gets back to Mississippi.

Drew Brees must have signed 20 things and gave them to him. The highlight
for us was when CJ gave Drew Brees his Wounded Warrior hat and Drew promised
to wear it on the sidelines. He said he would get fined by the NFL for
wearing it and he would make sure the fine was donated to the Wounded
Warrior Project. THEN he asked for CJ's autograph.

Not a bad day! I guess I am going to have to become a Saints fan!
