Fisher House and Best Buy Connecting America's Heroes and their Families
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 22 - "Connectivity," helping wounded or injured service members stay connected with their families while hospital patients, is the theme of Best Buy's Memorial Day through Fourth of July campaign to support the nonprofit Fisher House Foundation.
Best Buy, the nation's largest consumer electronics retailer, is partnering with the 38 Fisher Houses - large multi-family comfort homes on the grounds of 18 major military medical centers and nine VA medical centers - to donate lap top computers and other support to make it easier for service men and women at these medical centers stay in touch with their friends and families. The Campaign also gives Best Buy customers an easy way to support Fisher House, the troops and their families through in-store and online donations.
Beginning on Memorial Day Weekend and continuing through the week of July 4th, Best Buy customers can donate to Fisher House at any Best Buy register during check-out, or any time from the Best Buy website, www.bestbuy.com. Best Buy vendor partners, including Nintendo, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba are donating lap top computers, flat screen televisions, Wii gaming systems and other technology to the Campaign. Best Buy employees will volunteer at Fisher Houses and help install and service the new systems. All is part of an effort by Best Buy to provide the Fisher Houses with the most modern technology so the families can remain connected to their loved ones.
The Fisher House program began in 1990 when philanthropists and patriots Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher offered to build and donate to the government comfort homes on the grounds of military medical centers to permit service members to be close to their families during a hospitalization. The program at VA medical centers began later in 1994. Today, there is at least one Fisher House at every major military medical center, and more are planned. Since September 11, 2001, Fisher House Foundation has made support to service men and women hospitalized as a result of their service in Iraq or Afghanistan, and their families, its highest priority. The six Fisher Houses that will start construction in 2007 are being built at locations where the combat casualties will receive long term rehabilitation. The equipment and services being donated by Best Buy will improve the quality of life for these service members and their families, and enable to them to stay connected with their families and friends.
About Fisher House
Fisher House Foundation is best known for the network of 38 comfort homes on the grounds of military and VA major medical centers. The houses are 5,000 to 16,000 square foot homes, with up to 21 suites, donated to the military and VA by the Fisher House Foundation. The program provides support to families of patients receiving care at the nearby medical center and has ensured that families of service men and women wounded or injured in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom do not pay for their stay at a Fisher House or other base facility if they are on a wait list.

Operation Outreach a success
This past weekend, we joined a group down in Harrison OH for a 5K Walk/Run. The Air Force and Army were represented (yay heroes) and we had about 150 people show. It was a good time for a great cause. Proceeds went to buy kevlar blankets for the deployed Heroes.
We're thrilled to have gotten word out about Soldiers' Angels, and had some fun in the process.
Congratulations to everyone...

An Angel Gets Her Wings...
Carey Barnes was a Soldiers' Angels Letter Writing Team(LWT) Team Leader from Jan 2005 to Jan 2007 when she stepped back to rest for the birth of her child. She developed and distributed the first Soldiers’ Angels “Certificate of Appreciation,” plus did many other things via SA in supporting our troops. She was one of our Team Leaders who was always willing to help any way she could and always there for so many.
Carey Barnes passed away on April 29, 2007 from a rare heart disorder, five days after giving birth to very healthy baby boy named Ethan Charles Barnes.
Her husband let SA know, even while handling the arrangements and a newborn son. Our hearts go out to him and his family. She will be missed. God love you, Carey.
*hugs*
