As of the time of this writing here are the totals by team and the grand total for our wounded troops.
Army: $14,285
Marines: $12,717
Air Force: $12,664
Navy: $10,947
Total: $50,613
Friends, all I can say is thank you for your support but we are only a short distance along the path to our total goal of 180,000.00.
So if you are asking yourself why should I donate to something like this, let me remind you why:
Project Valour-IT, created 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.
Come on friends, we can all spare $20.00, $40.00, $50.00 or even $100.00 donating to a worthy cause like Valour-IT, click on that Make A Donation Now button over thre on the right and help out the men and women who are protecting our freedoms on the frontlines.
It's a tax-deductible donation and eligible for matching funds from companies who do that sort of thing (see: http://soldiersangels.org/valour/irsinfo.html for proof for the cautious).
The mailing address for those who'd rather donate by check is:
Soldiers' Angels
1150 N Loop 1604 W, Suite 108-493
San Antonio, TX 78248
(be sure to put ARMY in big letters on the check)
