Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington DC is the first stop for many of America's returning wounded service members from Iraq and Afghanistan. Known as "the amputee ward", the orthopedic Ward 57 at WRAMC houses some of the most severely injured patients for weeks or even months. The painful sacrifice of losing one or more limbs is the new battle these service members and their families now fight.
Operation Ward 57 was started to have a direct way for individuals and companies to show their support and raise funds for these courageous men and women who have given so much.
The program is run through pro-football player Kerry Carter's THINK BIG FOUNDATION, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Tax ID: 20-196-2446, in partnership with Atmosphere Artist Management LLC. This is a grass-roots, volunteer effort. Each person who buys a T-shirt, not only shows their support, but directly contributes to items for the Ward, patients, family members and staff

The Digital TV Transition
is coming February 17, 2009

Here's what you will need for the Digital Transition:

If you have a new TV purchased within the last few years, you should already have a digital tuner (also called an ATSC tuner) included. If so, and you live within range of a digital TV broadcast, just plug in an antenna to get a digital TV signals.

If you have an older TV and want to keep it, you can purchase a set-top converter box that will allow you to view digital TV signals. (Find retailers near you.)

The federal government is now offering a $40 coupon to purchase a digital-to-analog converter box for your TV. You still need to check your address to see what digital TV signals you can receive at your home.

Some digital TV (ATSC) tuners are also available for computers allowing you to watch and record programs via antenna right on your PC or Macintosh. Check with your local computer store for options.

For more information about the transition to digital TV and how to prepare, call 1-888-DTV-2009 or visit http://www.dtv2009.gov .

* The federal deadline applies to viewers receiving TV broadcasts by antenna from KOB-TV 4 Albuquerque/Santa Fe, KOBF-TV 12 Farmington, KOBR-TV 8 Roswell and KOBG-TV 6 Silver City. If you receive KOB broadcasts by antenna on any other channel, your signal is likely coming from a low-power translator and may remain on the air through 2010.
