FRA Attends FUSU Event
DLP Theo Lawson attended an evening hosted by the Friends of Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (FUSU) at the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. The event, themed “Caring for Those from the Battlefield to the Ballfield,” honored the service and sacrifice of military medical personnel who care for wounded warriors, active-duty members, veterans, and their families.

The event provided exclusive 15-minute previews of two compelling documentaries: Fighting for Life and Curveballs. The trailers for both films were shared as part of the program’s promotion and can be viewed here:

Attendees also took part in a powerful panel discussion and Q&A session that highlighted the extraordinary care provided to service members across the military medical community. The discussion included a spotlight on an all-amputee veterans’ baseball team whose perseverance and teamwork reflect the resilience seen throughout the wounded warrior community.

FRA is grateful for the opportunity to attend this meaningful event and appreciates FUSU’s continued commitment to recognizing the strength, resilience, and healing shared across the military and medical communities. This event provided great insight that allows the association to help advocate for policies that strengthen the military medical communities and improve care for those who defend our nation.
