Chrysler Fund Supports Michigan National Guard Family Support Fund

ROYAL OAK, Mich., December 9, 2004 -- Major General Thomas Cutler, Adjutant General of the Michigan National Guard, right, thanks Dieter Zetsche, Chrysler Group President and CEO, for a donation of $100,000 from the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund to the Michigan National Guard Family Support Fund on behalf of the more than 1,900 Michigan Army and Air National Guard members currently deployed. The Family Support Fund provides assistance to families of active Guard members whose wages have been lost or reduced because of their service. The financial assistance will provide basic "quality of life" needs like housing, transportation, medical needs, utilities, food and, in some cases, airfare. The DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund has a long history of making donations to worthy organizations at the annual Chrysler Group holiday media party.
