Fort Carson Red Cross Station Manager Strongly Supports Wounded Warriors

Posted on | June 5, 2009 | No Comments

Very nice article in the Fort Carson, Colorado Mountaineer newspaper today about my friend Susanne Harlandt, the American Red Cross Station Manager there.

: Susanne Harlandt, Fort Carson Red Cross station manager, speaks with Sgt. Eddie Doyle, 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.

It’s a very personal interview where Susanne really lays out her feelings for the troops and where those feelings come from. Very enlightening, too, since I don’t know that most people understand that the Red Cross does the kinda things she talks about:

“Red Cross seeks customers, support”

Doesn’t mention it there, but she’s a very big supporter of service dogs for veterans as well as the new therapy dog program at Fort Carson – she’d been instrumental in the therapy dog program at Landstuhl before coming here.

As I said, a very personal interview, and, knowing Susanne some, I know that it’s dead on accurate – helping out wounded warriors is her life. I give her big points for being so forthcoming – Susanne explains her reasons for doing that on her blog, One Life to Give:
