Calling All Angels - Help Our Wounded Stay in Touch with their Families
[http://www.coxandforkum.com/archives/000705.html]
The call is out.
We need 25 laptops (we have 25 wounded troops requesting them
that are Wait-Listed RIGHT NOW) with voice recognition software for our
wounded troops to stay in touch with their family and friends.
Most of these troops either have severe burns or wounds to their limbs or have been paralyzed and can't use a standard computer set up. Communication with loved ones is paramount to a successful recovery and Valour-IT seeks to help facilitate that essential communication.
Be a Small Sphere of Influence. Please help Valour-It with a donation.
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.
Update: Thanks Sam! I appreciate it. Was at WRAMC three weeks ago. It means more to these guys than I can express. Thank you.
