Valour-IT

valor

n : the qualities of a hero or heroine; exceptional or heroic courage when facing danger (especially in battle); "he showed great heroism in battle"; "he received a medal for valor" [syn: heroism, gallantry, valour, valorousness, valiance, valiancy]


Valour-IT
n : Soldier's Angels project providing voice-controlled software and laptop computers to wounded warriors recovering from hand and arm injuries at major military medical centers [syn: a great project I am proud to be a part of]

Seeing as of how I *am* AFSister, I *had* to join Greyhawk's Air Force team for the Valour-IT competion.

WHAT!?!?!?! You haven't heard about the competition????

Everybody who's anybody is involved, including Blackfive, Greyhawk, Holly Aho, Argghhh!, and lots more I don't even know about. (Lex... when are you gonna set up to the plate and lead those squids?) We're raising money for Valour-IT, because they are 100% outta cash. No more laptops can be provided at this time, and they are well below their goal. Anyone who donates during the competition will receive a Soldier's Angel coin.

Each laptop setup costs about $625.00. Many have already been delivered and have been put to use.

Please take the time to visit one of the team sites (Blackfive for Army, Greyhawk for Air Force, Holly for the Marines, and we're not sure who is taking over the Navy team), click on the Valour-IT competition donation button, and give freely to this wonderful project.

***UPDATE***

Mrs. Smash has taken on leadership if the Navy team. Thanks, Mrs.Smash!
