It's that time of year again....

   ....Time to donate to [1]ValourIT. Time for all Navy guys to form up
   and get to work. We can't let the zoomies or leathernecks or
   ground-pounders beat us. Dig deep and give to one of the great
   projects to help our wounded soldiers.

     Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, provides
     voice-controlled laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors,
     Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or
     amputations at home or in military hospitals. 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 severe hand
     wounds while serving in Iraq, illustrates how important this
     voice-controlled software can be to a wounded servicemember's
     recovery.

   As you can see, by the graphic on the right, we've got a long way to
   go to reach our goal, and a worthy goal it is. So turn everybody you
   know upside down and shake out some coin. Let's make the Navy the
   first to reach the goal.
