According to PFT, Joe Vitt will be spending some time at Walter Reed Hospital visiting wounded soldiers.

quote:

“If I can’t be around my players, maybe I can be around these ‘wounded warriors,’ and help them with their rehab,” Vitt said, via Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “I’m extremely fired up about this. I’m going to leave my cell phone at home, I’m going to check into Walter Reed Hospital, and I’m going to stay as long as they want me.

quote:

“I think it’s going to take me three or four days to really get the lay of the land, see what I can do to help. Then once I get into the groove, I may stay up there ’til the better part of the suspension is over,” Vitt said. “I’m in. Our players know what that means. If you’re in, you’re in. I’m not just going to dip my toe in the water. But I’m nervous as hell. I don’t know what to expect.”

Gotta respect the initiative.
I just hope he prepares for his role in the remainder of the season.

Regardless,

I really believe that once Vitt gets back this team can make a run.

We need to win a few before he gets back though.

Nothing beats playing to and for these guys because some will be up front with limbs missing and all kinds of shite,...... it will break your heart at the same time your pumping out megadeath or ac dc or maybe country music to them....... you guys owe it to yourself to play for these saintly warriors.... .... rock on fellows

I don't think it's a celebrity tour kind of thing.

He said he's going there to volunteer, and he's gonna do whatever they ask him to do.
