SFAC offers home away from home for wounded soldiers

Walking into the Soldier and Family Assistance Center, building 220 — across the street and down the road from Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital — is like walking into a comfortably appointed home. Enter the front double doors and a visitor is at once surrounded by comforts associated not with a military post, but with home. A fireplace, surrounded by a stone mantle, crackles away so long as the weather isn't too hot, and above that, a flat screen television of considerable size is turned on and tuned in to whatever channel the visitor prefers. This time it's the news. Beside and in front of the fireplace/television area is a plethora of couches and Adirondack-style chairs, low to the ground and comfortable for lounging. During the holiday season, a beautifully decorated tree stands beside the fireplace. Wrapped gifts fill visitors with visions of sugarplums, or at least the memories of them.
