Valour IT

Link is on the front page or here: Striped-Bass Fishing | Veterans Day Drive - Soldiers Angels (http://striped-bass.com/striper-fishing/index.php/component/content/article/40/179-veterans-soldiers-angels)

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.


Valour-IT is a 501(c)(3)

Thanks Jimmy!

How 'bout some more Veterans Day Love :gh:?

BTW - this is a 501(c)3 so you will get a receipt you can add to your deductions next year. I have done this 4 out of the last 5 years IIRC.
