Soldiers' Angels And Open Blog

A couple of notes...

Ace is, um, "on assignment" and asked me to declare an Open Blog.

Soldiers' Angels has a few projects underway for the folks at Ft. Hood.

Also at Soldiers' Angels...The annual Project Valour-IT fundraiser.

Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, helps provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptop computers and other technology to support Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries. Technology supplied includes:

-Voice-controlled Laptops - Operated by speaking into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, they allow the wounded to maintain connections with the rest of the world during recovery.

-Wii Video Game Systems - Whole-body game systems increase motivation and speed recovery when used under the guidance of physical therapists in therapy sessions (donated only to medical facilities).

- Personal GPS - Handheld GPS devices build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI and severe PTSD.

Apparently the HQ is on Team Marines but the money all goes to the same great cause.
