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.
