This news isn’t that new, but I thought it was timely for Veterans Day. Valley News Live reports

The Fergus Falls Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Chapter 25 recently donated funds to cover yearly wi-fi and cable television costs at the Minnesota Veterans Home in Fergus Falls. They presented a check for $15,063.32, which brings their total donation to $31,063.32.

“Technology at our Minnesota Veterans Homes is crucial for our Residents to keep connected with their families, our community and the world,” the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs said.

They say the technology fund makes it possible for veterans to stay informed and entertained by allowing them to watch the news and their favorite shows in resident common areas. In addition, many veterans have computers and other devices that require internet access to communicate with their family and friends.
