The Warrior and Family Support Center in San Antonio, Texas, “provides a comfortable, welcoming, and friendly environment for Wounded Warriors and their Families to relax, have fun, participate in activities and find support as they transition to their new normal.” ABC’s Jake Tapper visited the center today and was kind enough to take his Twitter followers on a virtual tour:
