The holiday season is a festive and fun time for most Americans. It is also a hard time for families who have loved ones in harm's way. The United States Armed Forces are protecting the American people as we enjoy this holiday season. Many of our Service men and women will be spending their time in a foreign country or at a VA hospital due to injury or sickness. This is where the Fisher House Foundation has stepped in to help. They have been providing completely free housing to military families since 1990. Families of men and women in the military can be close to their son or daughter while they stay at a VA hospital by living in a "Fisher House." Every VA hospital in the United States has at least 1 Fisher House. Currently, the Fisher House serves more than 10,000 military families and has over 3 million days of lodging!
This year, Christmas Decor by Hallco is excited to participate in decorating two of the Fisher Houses located next to the Walter Reed Medical Center, in Washington D.C. We will be providing all of the lighting, decorations and labor to help cheer up our military families in our area. Last year, the Walter Reed Medical Center was trying to work with a company to decorate their medical center for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but because of budget constraints, they were not able to pull it off. Christmas Decor by Hallco was called up to provide some decorating ideas and cost last year, and we saw first hand just how excited the faculty and soldiers were about the possibility of Christmas decorations. Therefore, we are very glad to be able to help out this year free of charge to see the smiles return their faces!
