On September 13 2009 another four laptops were presented to the Wounded Warriors at the Bethesda Medical Center by Gold and Blue Star Mothers and members of the Gathering of Eagles.
Based on the success of the initial presentation, additional laptop missions are now in progress. To assure that our wounded across America have the ability to reach out to their families and friends while recovering from combat wounds, these laptops will be passed along at the medical centers. This is a true gift that keeps on giving - for years to come.
Planning is in progress for laptop missions at Fort Bragg NC, Camp Lajeune NC, Fort Sill OK, Fort Gordon Ga. and Brooks Medical Center in Texas. Many others will be considered as funding is raised to support each mission.
These Toshiba laptops are purchased from Best Buy at a average cost of $350.00. Best Buys is donating the web cams and shipping to their destinations.
The need is great and by the generosity of patriots, the goal is obtainable. We all do best what we do together. As word spreads to others who support our military, there are no limits to the good we can do for our troops who have risked and sacrificed for our great nation.
The NC Lady's Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars has adopted the laptop missions as their mission for 2010. As others join in our efforts we will succeed and continue to meet the communications needs of our wounded.

Actually, checks are better because PayPal takes a little off the top.
Thanks for your support during this continuing mission. I wish to say that I am very proud of my many Brothers and Sisters who have stood, and joined in to bring joy to those who defend America.
