How You Can Help A Hero Among Us

Ret. Major General Gale Pollock has seen it all.  She has had a military career that spans more than 30 years and includes assignments as Acting Surgeon General of the US Army - where she was the first woman and the first non-physician to hold that prestigious position.   Major General Pollock was also the 22nd chief of the United States Army Nurse Corps.  Recently Gale joined VoiceFriend as a member of our Board of Advisors.

At her core, Gale is a caregiver and ardent supporter of disabled veterans with visual impairment. Gale related to me that sadly, 10-13% of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan suffered a serious eye injury.

Gale has dedicated much of her retired military career to finding services and support for these visually impaired soldiers. 

VoiceFriend has supported Gale's initiatives by donating VoiceFriend Companion Devices (devices that speak daily reminders and care plans at the push of a button) to visually impaired individuals at the Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind in Washington DC. 

As we progress in 2014, many individuals look to offer support to those in need.  If you are interested in learning more about how you as an individual or your company can support disabled veterans with visual impairment, please contact Gale at galespollock@gmail.com or call VoiceFriend at 781-996-3123.

We thank you in advance for your support and assistance with these soldiers and heroes among us.
