here to see the smiles on the faces of our wounded
warriors using their new laptops.

“I can communicate with my buddies in Iraq!”

“This is so great. I can talk to my girlfriends back home!”
What do these two people have in common? They’re both beneficiaries
of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center Laptop Project.
Thanks to your generosity, in partnership with the Lockheed Martin
Corporation, the Milestone Group, George Washington Chapter of AUSA
and the Verizon Pioneers, more than thirty families now have personal,
wireless laptop computers assigned to them during their entire stay
at Walter Reed. Wounded warriors and/or family are able to chat
with friends and loved ones back home, research job opportunities,
telecommute to work, take classes, pursue VA benefits, email unit
members still in Iraq, or simply play video games. Anytime time
they want, anywhere they choose, at the high speeds they need.
According
to MG Kenneth Farmer, commanding general WRAMC
(left), at the dedication of the laptops on June 10, The Pentagon
Federal Credit Union Foundation’s Laptop Project represents
the very best of private enterprise and Department of Defense working
together to make an immeasurable difference in the lives of folks
who have sacrificed so much.
Subsequent to this project, the Foundation contributed three laptop
computers to the Fort Hood Fisher House in Killeen, TX and nine
laptop computers to Wilford Hall Fisher Houses (Lackland AFB, San
Antonio, TX) for similar projects.
