VALOUR-IT FUNDRAISER
Matty O'Blackfive says it so well that I'm pretty much stealing his post, except I fixed the typos where he talked about supporting the Army team.
Valour-IT's online fundraising competition begins today! Let's see who can raise the most money to help reconnect our wounded warriors with the world!
WHAT: Friendly fundraising competition for Valour-IT.
WHEN: November 2nd through Veterans Day (the 11th).
WHERE: Based in the blogosphere, spreading everywhere else.
WHY: Because giving wounded warriors with hand and arm injuries access to a computer supports their healing and puts them back in touch with the world.
HOW: Blogger teams will be divided along military branches, with civilians "up for grabs."
The lines are drawn by service rivalry:
Jarheads (Marines) will be led by Holly Aho
Zoomies (Air Force) will be led by Mrs. Greyhawk
Squids (Navy) will be led by Mrs. Smash.
Doggies (Army) led by Blackfive
Non-military bloggers should choose a branch the Army the Navy to support.
Additional information: every donor during this time will receive a Soldiers' Angels Coin.
What Valour-IT Needs From You:
- Blog and email regularly about Valour-IT and the competition
- Tell your friends, family and neighbors about Valour-IT
- Put up these flyers around your community (I put one up at my local Starbucks).
So all you bloggers sign up with your choice of service and get the word out. Donate NOW!!!
It's a tax-deductible donation and eligible for
matching funds from companies who do that sort of
thing (see:
http://soldiersangels.org/valour/irsinfo.html for
proof for the cautious)
The snail mail address for those who'd rather
donate that way (scroll down at:

Let's be a part of something big.

Excerpt: I have been following From My Position for quite some time. Then one of our military friends called one day, and said. "Hey, I found your blog and I found one of my buddies on your blogroll. I know Chuck Z." It made things a little more personal.

Donated my $30 to the Marines. Sorry Harv, but it's a family thing.
*sigh* Gunlord, try Yahoo Messenger, I'll make a new email, something with a boys name, and i'll make sure its you by asking a personal question or whatever, but if it aint gonna happen, I'll miss you, and you were a great friend. I won't forget the pinky swear. Ever.
m4d_b347_d0wn5@yahoo.com and my name is Michael Fisher. Personal question: What is my dog's name? Your answer: Georgy.
Believe it or not, I had started a Yahoo! account earlier today. However, mom found out and quickly made sure that I deleted it. Oh, and my mom was asking who you were (since she knows you only as fullof3vil) and I told her that you were Samantha Shepperd, my ex-girlfriend that moved to Wyoming and looks like you. Well, at least she didn't say she was going to kill herself like she did last time.
Is there anything else we can do or are we totally screwed and have no hope of ever communicating again?
Oh, and what exactly is your mum's problem? I really do not understand why she really desperately does not want you to talk to me. Am i a threat to you in some way? Or does she still believe her own son is a vicious pedophile grooming young girls? Does she know neither is true or does she refuse to listen?
Air Force, Air Force, Air Force. ;-)
Go NAVY!
Go Navy!!! Yahoo!!
And Harv... what's with the soap opera in your comments? Wow.
Screw the soap opera - Harv, are you supporting the Farking Navy (the thermometer) and stealing Matty's words?
Geez, dude - that's chutzpah!
Bou - I have no freakin' clue about the soap.
John - Yeah, I'm a bastard :-D
On the bright side, maybe it'll infuriate the Army boys into tossing more in.
Which is a GOOD thing :-)
