Soldiers Angels Project Valour-IT Fundraiser 2011

Ok everyone, it's time for the Soldiers Angels Project Valour-IT Annual Fundraiser where the goal is $100,000 to help wounded warriors! This is where all the branches are pitted against each other for bragging rights (since the money is branch blind and goes to those whoever needs it.)

Need more information? Go here.

Remember.... EVERY dollar counts... even if you can only give $1, please give it!
Donate here.

Now you might remember last year... I couldn't pick a team, but this year I promised to help out Team Army. (They got their butts kicked 2 years in a row by Team Marines so I thought I'd see if I could help them out.)

Sooooo you should donate to this worthy cause... and here is a couple pictures of me and my sister that were requested by the Team Army Captain The Sniper to help get the word out. You can also see more pictures of girls holding signs for Team Army at The Sniper... including these.  

Spread the word. Donate. Help our wounded!

Soldiers Angels Project Valour-IT

I recently got a text message from a milblogger friend that said, "You're Team Army for Project Valour-IT, Right?" He knew me being a Soldiers Angel had nothing to do with my decision to participate with Project Valour-IT, it's an amazing cause, which is the only reason I need to get involved. Any project that helps the wounded with severe physical injuries by supplying voice recognition software laptops, Wii Fit for physical therapy, and GPS units to help compensate for the effects of TBI is worth getting involved in.

My only hesitation was picking an actual team. I have friends in every branch of the military. In fact, I had to smile when that same day another blogger asked if I'd be Team Army or Team Marines.... I do love my Marines.... and my Navy Boys.... and my Air Force guys....

Because I have so much love for everyone in the military, I have decided to join all the Teams. (Truth is I couldn't pick just one Team. It would be like asking me to choose a favorite child. I can't do that.)

If you'd like more information on Project Valour-IT and, Major Charles "Chuck" Ziegenfuss, the man who started it all while recovering from being injured by an IED, click here.
You can follow Project Valour-IT on facebook here.
You can follow Project Valour-IT on Twitter here.

You can change the life of someone who was injured fighting for YOUR FREDOM. This is the time to give back to those who have given more than you'll ever know for you. Skip a meal, shake the couch, take a collection at work.... GET INVOLVED.

Note: I was contacted by a reader who expressed concern that the United States Coast Guard is NOT being represented in the Valour-IT fundraiser. He wrote,

"I noticed USCG wasn't on there even though they do fight in Military battles, keep aliens and drugs off the streets, assist the Navy when Navy lives are at stake at sea, rescue civilians, ect. why is this?"

All of this is absolutely true, and the USCG should be represented, but as you can see by the small italicized print here, a USCG Team Leader could not be found. If you, or someone you know wants to ensure the USCG will be represented next year, please contact me. I will find the proper contact information in order to make sure ALL OUR HEROS are properly represented next year.
