ATTENTION ALL MARINES AND CIVILIAN BLOGGERS!

Have I got a project for you! Well, technically it's not me, but there is a project I am so excited to participate in and anyone who is a blogger can participate, as well.

Today I found a link off of the Open Post at Mudville Gazette for Soldier's Angel, Holly Aho.

Project Valour-IT is a project of Soldier's Angels. It explains in the link how Project Valour-IT provides voice controlled lap tops and software for our wounded troops who are recovering from hand and arm injuries. It allows them to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, as well as their buddies on the field, without ever having to use their hands. As you can see, this is definitely a worthy cause.

Fuzzilicious Thinking explains how this will work.

From Fuzzilicious's posts, you can see that there was not going to be a team for the Marine Corps. Well, Holly Aho changed that and I'm so joining in! Originally, the idea was for since there are so few Marine bloggers, that the Navy and Marines would team up... As Fuzzilicious put it:
"However, I know that Marines specialize in doing the 'impossible,' and doing it with less. SO... if you want to put together a Marines-only team (plus supporters) and enter the competition that way, Go For It!"
So civilian Holly Aho is the team leader... Join us in "going for it!"

The project will begin November 2 and go until Veteran's Day, November 11. More details coming soon.
