Operation House Call - Week Three in DC


This week, Georgia, MFSO Wisconsin paid a house call on some Illinois lawmakers. She was interested in visiting them because her Soldier son who suffers from PTSD resides in the Chicagoland area. Dennis Hastert was among those she wished to visit. Initially, he refused - but then various groups, MFSO-Chicago among them began calling to ask his scheduler WHY a Member of Congress who "supports the troops" would refuse to address the concerns of a Soldier's Mom? He relented and a meeting took place. MFSO member Stacy accompanied her. You can link to the story of the meeting here.
