“As we sought ways to help our veterans and the Wisconsin Veterans Village, backpacks arose as a big need. The Veterans Village provides exceptional service for our veterans, and we’re proud to support them in any way we can,” said Pam Litscher, TDS associate manager of Field Marketing in Appleton.
