Wounded Warriors in NYC

The weekend before Veterans Day 2008, Microsoft and the USO teamed up to bring some 25 wounded American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines -- and their families -- to New York City for three days of sightseeing, fine dining, and other delights of the Big Apple. The weekend culminated with a holiday spectacular at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, Nov. 9.
