Noncommissioned officers moved from room to room of Building 18 of Walter Reed Army Medical Center yesterday with clipboards noting necessary repairs, while workers in protective masks began peeling moldy wallpaper and pulling up old carpet. Elsewhere in the decrepit former hotel that houses recovering wounded soldiers, an elevator was repaired and outside sidewalks were cleared of ice.
The activity came amid a storm of outrage from veterans groups and politicians after a series of articles last weekend in The Washington Post.
Story, A8.
