Derby For The Vets

I thought that this was pretty cool. $11,000 raised for Fargo's VA Medical Center during Derby For The Vets race.

Randy,

Working in a hospital, as a maintenance technician myself, this goodwill from the Vets is a really good thing!
Especially when it comes to making the patients more comfortable, as far as furnishings & cable movie channels.

There are lot's of hospitals that still use the older hospital grade CRT TV's in patient rooms,
but can't afford to up grade the TV's to hospital grade Flat screen, Plasma, or the Led's..
especially all at once.

That's a lot of TV's to purchase depending on patient room totals, waiting rooms or lobbies the hospital has.

The hospital I work at has been recently updating their TV's and it's not Cheap!

Way to go Vets!
