SUPPORT FOR MILITARY HEROES®

Our soldiers have demonstrated heroism, we are determined to demonstrate compassion.

100% of your contribution will be used to support the wounded and their families. We work directly with military family medical centers to determine needs, especially at Walter Reed and Brook Army Medical.

“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.
