The Valour-IT Fundraising Competition

Project Valour IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, provides voice-controlled software and laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations at major military medical centers. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, our wounded heroes are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the ‘Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field without having to press a key or move a mouse. The experience of CPT Charles “Chuck” Ziegenfuss, a partner in the project who suffered hand wounds while serving in Iraq, illustrates how important this voice-controlled software can be to a wounded servicemember’s recovery.

And now there is a competition to raise money for this coming soon. Teams will be divided by military branches. While I am in the Air Force, I have been asked by Holly, to join the Marines team. Whatever, all the money is going to the same cause. We need more team members. Put a post up on your blog letting people know about the Project Valour-IT Fundraising Competition. Leave a trackback to Holly’s post or leave a comment there to let us know you are officially on the Marine Team.

    Does the voice activated software also allow the wounded vet to communicate with his buddies serving as prison guards or is it only members in the field ?
