... Every year, just before Veteran’s Day, the Milblog world breaks up into service related teams to raise funds. The funds we raise purchase assistive technology for wounded service members. It started with voice activated laptops and has expanded to include WII units (which help with physical therapy) and GPS (which helps brain injured patients stay on track). Because the parent charity – Soldiers’ Angels, covers overhead, 100% of donations to Project Valour-IT go directly into purchasing technology.
This is our 5th year and Navy normally makes a very good showing. This year, inexplicably, we are getting creamed. So I write for two reasons – one, this is pretty much our one big event and we need to do well in order to meet the needs of the wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines. There is a waiting list as I write.
Secondly (and much less important), Navy is getting creamed and it’s killing
Mary and I!
