Firefighters visit with a heroic soldier injured serving our country.

On December 7, 2012, members of the Nassau County Firefighters Operation Wounded Warrior traveled to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. to bring Christmas presents and holiday cheer to wounded soldiers and Marines receiving treatment and rehabilitation at the hospital. Other Nassau County firefighters traveled to Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune with additional presents that same week.
