Valour-IT Friday Flog

Posted By Blackfive • [November 10, 2006]

Bloodspite of Technography created this video to inspire you to donate (if you have already donated, THANK YOU!!!) to Project Valour-IT.  The opening quote says what it's all about...:

Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss (Captain Chuck Ziegenfuss' father), 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.

Every cent raised for Project Valour-IT goes directly to the purchase and shipment of voice-activated laptops for wounded servicemembers. As of October 2006, Valour-IT has distributed nearly 600 laptops to severely wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines across the country.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who have given what they could to this very worthy cause!
