About Me

Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington DC is the Army's flagship hospital and first base for America's returning wounded warriors fresh from the Iraq battlefield.

Ward 57, is known as "the amputee ward" where most have lost one or more limbs along with other disfiguring and internal injuries. Their painful sacrifice is the new battle they fight.

"Operation Ward 57" is a way for individuals, companies and organizations to show their support and help provide items and activities for the Ward.

The program is run through pro-football player Kerry Carter's THINK BIG FOUNDATION, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, Tax ID: 20-196-2446, in partnership with Atmosphere Artist Management LLC.

"Of all of the debts owed to the men and women who serve in our military, and to their families, none is more important than to ensure that those wounded in battle are treated immediately, and for as long as is required, with all of the medical skill, compassion, and effectiveness that can be brought to bear,” Nancy Pelosi said. “It is clear that improvements are necessary to make certain that our national obligation is met."
