Through July 14th, bloggers are raising money for Soldier’s Angels’ Valour-IT OP!
This competition raises money for technology that reconnects wounded warriors and supports their recovery.
Project Valour-IT helps provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptop computers and other technology to support Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries. Items supplied include:
# Voice-controlled Laptops – Operated by speaking into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, they allow the wounded to maintain connections with the rest of the world during recovery.
# Wii Video Game Systems – Whole-body game systems increase motivation and speed recovery when used under the guidance of physical therapists in therapy sessions (donated only to medical facilities).
# Personal GPS – Handheld GPS devices build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI and severe PTSD.
Major Chuck Ziegenfuss talks about Project Valour-IT:
As usual, I’m on Team Navy and also as usual, I’ll be bugging you to donate to this very worthy cause. If you are in a position to do so, please click the button top left.
Thank you and GO NAVY!
