Laptops for Troops

Wounded soldiers returning from both Iraq and Afghanistan often spend weeks and months confined to hospital rooms and beds while waiting to either undergo surgeries or to participate in extensive rehabilitation and prosthetic training. With this comes waiting, sleepless nights and memories of tragic incidents they experienced or witnessed during combat.

According to ASI’s Denny Green, the ability to access a computer, write friends and family, surf the internet or simply play computer games can help turn sometimes lengthy waiting times into more positive experiences. Wanting to help, Green has been instrumental in getting the attention of local industry and several computer giants.

Several have donated laptops to troops at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC and at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Maryland.
 
Support for this much needed effort has been phenomenal. However, according to Green, there’s still much to be done. Green joined ASI in 2000 and is located in ASI’s Prattville - Montgomery area office. He currently serves as senior vice president of information technology.
