Activision to use Modern Warfare 2 launch to help US Veterans


Tomorrow publisher Activision is supposed to officially launch Modern Warfare 2 (although as we have reported some stores have gone ahead and broken the street date for the game). This Wednesday, the US also celebrates the Veteran's Day holiday. Today the Washington Post reports that Activision is using both occasions to launch the Call of Duty Endowment, a foundation designed to help US veterans find work after their military service is over

According to the article, US veterans have a much higher rate of unemployment than civilians. The money from the foundation will be used to help fund programs that are in place to help veterans find jobs. The first $125,000 will be used to help fund a vocational rehabilitation center via the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
