Hello!

Our museum just recently obtained a kiosk for visitors to use when
searching for members in our Hall of Valor.
The company who manufactured the kiosk was Diatouch, located in Arizona.
Their phone number: 602-438-2100. Our Public Relations Director simply
told the company what she wanted the kiosk to do, and they programmed it
for her. The software on the machine was "Touch Presenter Suite".
After the kiosk arrived, we had to enter the Veteran info ourselves into a
Microsoft Access document, and then entered it into the kiosk.
The public can now search for a Veteran by medal awarded, conflict, years
served, branch of service, first or last name, etc. It's great!

Hope this helps!
