Project Valour-IT

Our guest of honor for the GBR was Chuck Ziegenfuss who was representing Project Valour-IT.  Here’s a little about the project:

Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, provides voice-controlled software and laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations at major military medical centers. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, our wounded heroes are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the ‘Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field without having to press a key or move a mouse. The experience of CPT Charles “Chuck” Ziegenfuss, a partner in the project who suffered hand wounds while serving in Iraq, illustrates how important this voice-controlled software can be to a wounded servicemember’s recovery.

I plan on donating more to this charity over the next couple of months, and I will encourage others to do so here.  If you make a donation, say so in the comments.  You will have my gratitude.
