Microsoft now a member of the America Supports You Team
Microsoft Corp. has joined the America Supports You team as part of its ongoing commitment to recognizing the dedication of members of the U.S. armed forces and their families.
The company’s engagement with America Supports You is a natural extension of its existing work with America Supports You grassroots organizations such as the United Service Organizations (USO).
“As the demands of service continue to challenge and strain America’s armed forces, domestic efforts to support soldiers and their families grow increasingly important. Joining American Supports You is a key part of Microsoft’s commitment to our troops and provides our company with an effective way to plug into sustaining efforts that touch hundreds of thousands of families,” said Curt Kolcun, vice president of the Federal Division at Microsoft.
Through another venture with the USO, Microsoft is equipping USO service centers around the world with Xbox consoles and the Xbox LIVE online game service, enabling tens of thousands of U.S. military personnel to play video games with friends and family across a high-speed connection.
