Found on Michelle Malkin:
This past Friday night I was privileged to visit Fran O'Brien's steakhouse in the Capitol Hilton, Washington, DC. Every Friday night, Hal Koster, the restaurant manager and Vietnam Vet, invites our wounded soldiers convalescing at nearby Walter Reed Army Center to a free steak dinner and drinks. It was supposedly a "slow" night for our heroes as many were on a ski trip in Colorado. But I walked into an absolutely packed room of wounded soldiers and their families enjoying a minor but well-deserved recognition for their service to our country.
I've also discovered since then that the Hilton Corporation will not be
renewing the lease. Apparently, there are too many "liability issues" in
accommodating American heroes in wheelchairs. In fact , the lease (and
therefore the dinners) will expire in a few short weeks. If America had
responded as we would in the past, this would be inconsequential really.
Obviously we have not and it is a tragic commentary on today's PC-ness.
And, the Hilton responds:
