Celebrate the Marines Birthday and Give Something Back - Project Valour-IT
A friendly fundraising competition for Project Valour-IT is happening in the blogging world.
Dates for this: November 2nd through Veterans Day (the 11th).
Why do you ask?:Because giving wounded warriors with hand and arm injuries access to a computer supports their healing and puts them back in touch with the world.
How it works: Blogger teams will be divided along military branches.
Additional information: every donor during this time will receive a Soldiers' Angels Coin. And they are beautiful!
Thank you Cox and Forkum
Holly Aho stepped up to the challenge of being the leader of the Marine Branch of the fundraising.

Please donate to this worthy cause that will ensure our Warriors who have been injured to receive voice controlled software and laptop computers. They had our six and this is a great way we can say thank you and show them our support.
