In 2014, then U.S. Navy hospital corpsman Jared Lenahan was grievously injured following a climbing accident during his deployment to Sigonella, Italy. After a brief period of care in Europe, he was transferred to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he was a patient for almost five years.

Metro, the Montgomery County Emergency Management department and DC Safe among others, set up tables and displays in Bldg. 39’s courtyard, providing information focused on general safety and tips on avoiding injury and illness.
