Was reading an article in the Hallmark Magazine summer 2008 issue they had a wonderful aritcle called A place to Heal. It was written about a man who was in the miliarty and a (IED) detonated near his Humvee with others. He suffered (TBI). His wife was worried that would never get to play with their son like normal dads do. Then in Fort Campell in KY they found a playground called Boundless Plyground which has handrails and even a wheelchair ramp. The article memntioned it was a refuge for the injured soldiers and their familes. The rest of the article talk about the lon and hard journey Jeremy had to take to healing.
