When I was blogging on my personal blog I used to encourage my readers to give to Operaiton Valour-IT every year. I gave and one year I even ran a 5K and used that as a platform to encourage others to donate. This year I can’t run and I can’t give as much, but I can still donate some! If each of us donated a little then our wounded warriors would have the voice activated laptops they need. This is a need, not a frivolous want.
As you know I am very partial to the Army, so I am encouraging you to donate through Team Army!

Here’s a clip from a post on Blackfive:
Even before they are fully with it, many of the wounded are asking about the other members of their units. More than a want, they need to be in touch with them. They need and want to be in touch with family and friends. When you wake up minus limbs and/or with tubes stuck everywhere there are not bandages, it is hard if not downright impossible to punch keys, hold a phone, or much of anything else.
Valour-IT laptops make a difference. Being able to use your voice to make the computer work for you so you can be in touch, handle some of your own affairs — well, it’s liberating. To put it mildly.
Your help is needed. Please do what you can, so that our wounded can do for themselves with a little help from some friends.
