MAY NO SOLDIER GO UNLOVED

I have spent the day reading May No Soldier Go Unloved by Jeff Bader with many tears streaming down my face. It is a wonderful book I must say, and I was fortunate to get a signed copy. Thanks Patti and Jeff.

I am looking forward to reading May No Soldier Walk Alone, May No Soldier Be Forgotten and Till They All Come Home when they are published.

I am normally not a book reader, but being I can't get up and run a marathon or anything else for that matter, I will have to settle with reading a few books that I have purchased over the last several years.

VALOUR-IT

I have made my donation to Soldiers Angels/Valour-IT Have you?

I can honestly say Soldiers Angels is absolutely wonderful. Having been a part of their organization for over a year now, it has to be one of the best organizations supporting our troops in Iraq and our wounded soldiers.

If you have not done so, please make your donation. It will help make a wounded soldier able to communicate much easier.

You can donate via the PayPal button on the right, or by sending a check to:

Soldiers Angels

1150 N. Loop 1604 W., Suite 108-493

San Antonio, TX 78248

Please note "Army Valour-IT Team" on your check so we get credit for your donation.

If you would like to join any of the teams, please feel free to help the ARMY team out.

PROJECT VALOUR-IT UPDATE

As of 6:44 p.m. today, the four teams have collected $29,721.00 in just three days. WOW...What will it be by the 11th. If you want to see who is in the running, go on over to the Soldiers' Angels site. Scroll past the names of the participating team blogs to see the running meters. They keep getting higher and higher.

If you have not made your donation yet, please do so. You can do it via my blog on the right, or you can go to Blackfive's site and make your donation. Come on all you ARMY folks, lets see if we can out donate the Navy team.

DONATE...DONATE...DONATE...

I thought that I would share a few pictures with you.







Michael, we miss and love you very much. STAY SAFE.

PROJECT VALOUR-IT

Project Valour-IT is a Soldiers Angels Project, which is dedicated to providing voice-controlled software and laptop computers to wounded soldiers.

I have joined in with BLACKFIVE to help raise money for our wounded soldiers. So all you ARMY bloggers, let see if we can win this one. Valour-IT's online fundraising competition begins today and will end on November 11, 2005. The goal is to raise enough money to purchase 30 laptops for our wounded soldiers who are not able to use their hands.

I have been keeping up with Captain Ziegenfuss @ TC Override who has helped get this project off of the ground. Captain Ziegenfuss arrived at Walter Reed this past summer after being wounded in Iraq. He returned to his home for a short while, but is now back at Walter Reed for additional surgery. The experience of Captian Chuck Ziegenfuss, who is a partner in this project who suffered hand wounds while serving in Iraq, illustrates just how important this voice-controlled software can be to a wounded soldier's recovery. Thanks Captain Ziegenfuss. We all wish you a speedy recovery.

Every donor during this time will receive a Soldiers' Angels Coin.

Let's all head over to BLACKFIVE and hit that MAKE A DONATION button and be a part of this wonderful project or you can donate straight from my blog. I will have it up at the top until the 11th.

The army team is doing great. I was #1 in the standings, but looks like Melinda has out-donated me, and she is currently #2. We will just have to see what we can do about her out-donating me. LOL...

Oops Melinda, seems neither of us are in the top five now.

Way to go Valour IT Army Team.
