Albertsons Brings Deployed Americans Closer to Home on the 4th of July - PNN Online

Albertson's, Inc. announced that it is shipping 185 computers to Camp Anaconda in Central Iraq to connect family and friends with deployed loved ones in a contribution linked to celebration of 4th of July weekend. The donation comes in response to the US Army's concern that too few computers were available at Camp Anaconda, the main Army base camp in Iraq. This situation has resulting in limited Internet access and hundreds of troops in line, at any given time, waiting to communicate home. "I cannot even begin to express how much this project will mean to the soldiers of Camp Anaconda. In addition to bringing our troops closer to their families, this will also help other soldiers continue their education via distance learning," said First Sergeant Craig Haskell, 116th Engineer Co. CSE, UTARNG, Spanish Fork, Utah.
