"At that time I had no use of either hand. I know how humbling it is, how humiliating it feels. And I know how much better I felt, how amazingly more functional I felt, after Soldiers' Angels provided me with a laptop and a loyal reader provided me with the software. I can't wait to do the same, to give that feeling to another soldier at Walter Reed." - Captain Chuck Ziegenfuss at TC Override (wounded in Iraq)

(Aside: Click that picture and scroll down a little to see whose idea it was.)

I don't have the skills to explain Valour-IT any better than that picture and the quote from Capt Z explain it. Read Blackfive's post here then use the button below to credit your donation to the Air Force team or click here and pick a different button. Just give.

John Noonan emails:

Richard S. Lowry, author of Marines in the Garden of Eden and the Gulf War Chronicles was generous enough to donate two personalized copies of each book to Valour-IT. Team Air Force member Fred Griego volunteered his ebay sellers account to auction off the items. Please include these two links in your next Valour-IT update:

Marines in the Garden of Eden Auction

Gulf War Chronicles Auction

I'm glad to see Bryan Preston giving the project some publicity. Didn't realize he was a vet but knew he was someone I'd get along with.

Captain Ed's aboard too. He's not a vet but his heart's always been in the right place.

Thanks, Michelle!

I would love to display a Project Valour-IT button on my blog but, it is done in Java Script. Which isn't allowed on Word Press.com blogs. Wondering if there is any way around this. Of course I have added the image to my sidebar directing to Project Valour-IT's donation page. But it would be great if I had the button that shows the up to date donations given.
No big deal it is such an honorable cause, I'm just happy to help any way I can.
