There are items about succeeding professionally for those with disabilities, preparing resumes, succeeding at interviews, resume paper, journals to track personal contacts, and so on.

Representatives from the WRAMC community, Helping Our Heroes Foundation, and ICAF attended the ceremony. MG Francis Wilson, Commandant of the ICAF also attended. MG Kenneth Farmer, Commander of the North Atlantic Regional Medical Command and Walter Reed Army Medical Center received the gift on behalf of the hospital and its patients.

"Members of the Class of 2005 at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces are honored to offer these materials to support those who have served our country so well. We regard them as some of this nation's finest citizens. We anticipate that they will move successfully through this challenging time of healing and they will go on to make great contributions to their families and our nation," stated Cory Lyman, Class Gift Committee Chair.
