More than 3,000 people, including wounded and recovering
military service men and women and their families, Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Peter Pace, and Senators Hillary Rodham
Clinton (D-NY) and John McCain (R-AZ), participated in the
dedication ceremony January 29 for The Center for the Intrepid and
two new Fisher Houses at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) in San
Antonio, Texas. The Center is a $50 million, state-of-the-art
physical rehabilitation center, which comprises 60,000 sq. ft. The
Fisher Houses are 21-room residences for hospitalized soldiers’
families. This facility will provide treatment that is available
nowhere else in the world and is based on best practices,
technology, and facilities around the globe, it was noted.
