Project Valour – IT Update
Thanks to those who have contributed to the project already – and for those who are considering it. Just a reminder, the very excellent project supported by that link on the right is to raise funds to buy speech-recognition software and laptops for the brave men and women who have had arms amputated or severely injured in the service of our country.
Mudville Gazette is the sponsor of the Air Force team, the one I’ve devoted my site to. Here’s some great news:
Carren, wife of Chuck Ziegenfuss, the inspiration for Valour-IT, has an important update:
We met the Secretary of the Army, Dr. Fran Harvey, today. He was a very nice man and happens to be a fellow Pennsylvanian!!! Not sure if he’s Steeler fan, though… forgot to ask. Anyway, Chuck told him about V-IT and I printed off some info from the Soldier’s Angels website. He seemed impressed with the project and Chuck told him, “I think either the Army or the Department of Defense should support this project.” Dr. Harvey said he would look into it further and took the info I gave him. After Dr. Harvey left the room his Aide de Camp gave me his card (he’s an Army Major) and told me if we didn’t hear anything in two weeks I was to contact him. So guess what…. in 14 days I will be contacting him if no one (i.e. Me and Chuck and/or Soldier’s Angels) don’t hear something. Who knows where this could lead V-IT!!!!
Remember, anything helps, and it goes to those who have fought and sacrificed for all of us…
