Go Soldier's Angels! Go Project VALOR-IT!

It is true that I have spent a large portion of time around the boys in blue, no, not the Post Office but the others using the same uniform, the Air Force. It is true that a lot of my ROTC time was with AFROTC. Yet, not all my time is there and the little certificate upstairs for ROTC and training says Army. Besides, one should never trust a smiling Blackfive, for the camera is loaded with infrared film I do not want shared, so...

I have joined the Army Team for Project VALOR-IT. What is it, you say?

Project Valour-IT
(Voice-Activated Laptops for OUR Injured Troops)
In memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss

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. (text stolen from Blackfive, why work when great is there)

I am going to add to this post as time goes by, and it will stay at the top until the 11th, so please help.

"Stolen from Blackfive..." who stole it from the Valour-IT website. LOL!

You Army guys are just a den of thieves, aren't you? ;)

Go Navy!

If it's not bolted down, it's fair game.
If the bolts can be undone, it's fair game
It is fair to use C4 on the bolts, to make it fair game...

Don't remember where I heard that, and of course I would never, never, ever be associated with any who thought that way...

This is a great cause... I'm on the ARMY team too... Looks like the NAVY is still kicking ass... we can't let that happen!!!

May the efforts of the angels yield great bounty.

Though one for the greater cause, I too must confess affinity for Team Army.

My Best, Pam
