Corporal Damon D. Mulazzi's latest and greatest installment took place at TQ Surgical, where he went out of his way to make sure wounded service members had cable in the recovery room. He also makes an appearance there with his keyboard to take music requests after Sunday mass. "The doctors there do their best to care for people and help them live," said Mulazzi, 22-year-old Armed Forces Network Cable Marine with Communications Company, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward). "But I don't think you can order happiness from (medical logistics)." Perhaps Mulazzi's most important 'hook up' is the connection to the worried families of wounded sons and daughters. He sends them photos of their recovering kin and short messages via email. Mulazzi, from Ronkonkoma, N.Y., even started the "Wounded Art Project:" his most recent crusade to gather stateside art donations to liven up the plain, white walls of TQ Surgical's recovery ward. So far the "Wounded Art Project" has received donations from Joulie Gouloski, an advertising representative with Smith and Wesson, and Barbera Bergstrand, an independent artist. 1st MLG (Forward) is deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq (MNF-W) to develop the Iraqi Security Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of law through democratic government reforms, and continue the development of a market based economy centered on Iraqi Reconstruction.
