Camaraderie Brings Cheer
Thursday nights outing was the first NHL Jerseys game for a number of the Walter Reed patients, including Staff Sgt. Robert Huegel.
It was great! Huegel exclaimed after the Capitals Matt Pettinger
scored the deciding goal in the shootout to win the game. Huegel said although he doesnt yet fully understand all the rules of the game, he enjoyed the action and the camaraderie with his fellow service members.
Huegel said he and the other patients like to joke with each other and make light of their injuries. For instance, he said a Marine corporal who lost two limbs in Iraq, joked at the game that they charge an arm and a leg for food around here.
We bust on each other, Huegel said. Its all in fun, he said, adding that it helps them cheer one another up.
