Nations, to bring you the latest.
To round out the show, Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard and USA Today

Charlotte Simmons."

We have had a tremendous response to our special from Walter Reed and the
Fisher House on the wounded soldiers and their families. We had the pleasure
of meeting so many amazing, brave people over there, and your support to them
is greatly appreciated over the holiday season. Walter Reed and the Fisher
House appreciated all the donations. Jim Weiskopf at the Fisher Foundation
tells us since Thursday, there have been between 1,200-1,400 people who've
donated to Fisher House! If you haven't donated yet but want to know how you
can, the links are below:
