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.
Project ValourIT is a charity drive run by Soldiers Angels, an organization that does amazing things for wounded troops. The Project ValourIT drive is supported by many of the blogs I read and list over to the left. The blogs are organized into teams, one for each service. If you donate, make sure to do so for team Navy. I'll be trying my best to leave this post at the top, so for new post, scroll down some. For a more detailed description go here. Change all of Blackfive's Army propaganda to Navy and you'll get the idea. It all goes to the same place in the end.
