Project Valour It
Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, helps provide voice-controlled and adaptive laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries at major military medical centers. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, 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. The experience of MAJ Charles “Chuck†Ziegenfuss, a partner in the project who suffered serious hand wounds while serving in Iraq, illustrates how important these laptops can be to a wounded service member’s recovery.
Every cent raised for Project Valour-IT goes directly to the purchase and shipment of laptops for severely wounded service members. As of October 2007, Valour-IT has distributed over 1500 laptops to severely wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines across the country.
Valour-IT accepts donations in any amount to support the purchase and distribution of laptops, but also offers a sponsorship option. An individual or organization may sponsor a wounded soldier by completely funding the cost of a laptop and continuing to provide that soldier with personal support and encouragement throughout recovery. This has proved to be an excellent project for churches, groups of coworkers or friends, and members of community organizations such Boy Scouts.
Valour-IT is an IRS-certified non-profit and is non-political. Regardless of ideas about how/why war is now being waged, the fact is that people are wounded and need our help. Valour-IT is about supplying that help, not about endorsing or opposing the reasons why it’s needed.
Please, do what you can. By the way, this project goes towards all the branches of service. Many bloggers will be participating and will be in teams for friendly competition. This year we are competing with the Air Force team. Interested in joining? Go here.

Help Soldier’s Angels Help Our Troops With Project Valour-IT
This will stay on top until the end of the drive, November 11, 2007.
I swiped this from Spree at Wake Up America and Stop the ACLU! They are reminding us it is that time of the year again folks to help our wounded soldiers receive a laptop with voice control software
Regarding the ACLU:
It is time to Ignore these overly Politically Corrected MORONS and tell them to go and Find or Create their own Country somewhare else…. THEY really are taking away Civil Liberties from the American People and promoting Anarchy and Totalitarianism.
