American Legion hosts second gala for wounded warriors in OC

Ocean City and the American Legion welcomed 15 wounded warriors from the Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. last weekend.

They participated in a number of activities including breakfast from the American Legion and VFW, a boat ride and lunch with United States Coast Guards in Ocean City and a trip to the Veterans Support Center of America near Salisbury.

“This is the third time [the American Legion has hosted Wounded Warriors in Ocean City,]” said American Legion Post #166 Commander Sarge Garlitz.

Last Saturday night, dozens of people attended the second annual Wounded Warriors Gala on 24th Street and heard from keynote speaker Dr. Debra Malone, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel and the trauma research director at Walter Reed National Naval Medical Center.
