SPRINGFIELD -- Illinois' veterans can now have an easier time finding a job thanks to a federal donation. About 400 refurbished computers are going to veterans groups all over the state.

They were in surplus and weren't being used. Servicemen and women will use them to search for jobs, build resumes and find state services.

Some VFW posts in Central Illinois say they will also be holding resume classes to go along with the new computers.
