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.

If this isn't a worthy cause, I don't know what is:

Goal: The goal of the Project Valour-IT fundraiser is to raise enough money for 30 new laptops with voice activated software for our wounded soldiers with hand and/or arm injuries. Each laptop costs approximately $685 plus shipping, so the fundraiser’s total goal is to raise $21,000.

John at Castle Argghhh!!! is providing the bandwidth for downloadable Valour-IT flyers you can print out and paper the neighborhood with. Click here. 

As of 19:00 CST the four military teams combined have come up with just short of $11,000 toward the $21,000 goal. OK, people, that was the easy half. We all know the money won't keep flowing at that rate after the new wears off, so please, please, don't use that as an excuse to not do your part.
