Congresswoman Duckworth Delivers Laptops to Veterans Organizations


ILLINOIS–(ENEWSPF)–March 18, 2014. Today, Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth (IL-08) delivered laptops to local Veterans organizations at the Glendale Heights VFW Post. With assistance from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services, and National Association of State Agencies for Surplus Property, 25 laptop computers were donated to organizations that train and provide assistance to Veterans. 

The state of Illinois was the first state in the nation to help Veteran organizations with this special program. Laptops will be used to assist with resume and career building, finding skilled employment, and applying for Veteran benefits. Local VFWs and American Legions, including those from Bartlett, Addison, Bloomingdale, Des Plaines, Itasca, Carol Stream, are among laptop recipients.
