The Pentagon Memorial Fund will kick off a national fundraising drive today with the announcement of its first major corporate donation and the establishment of a Web site created by the designer of former presidential candidate Howard Dean’s successful Internet fundraising campaign. “I am excited and really proud of what we have accomplished in a short amount of time,” said James Laychak, president of the Pentagon Memorial Fund. Laychak lost his brother in the attack on Sept. 11, 2001. At a news conference at the U.S. Capitol this morning, Laychak said, he will announce a $1 million donation from Anheuser-Busch.
