CQ Joins The Navy ....

... or at least CQ will join the Navy team in the Soldiers Angels new fundraising project, Project VALOUR-IT. This new project aims to purchase laptop computers for wounded veterans when they come home. Hopefully, we will get a new class of milbloggers when this gets completely rolled out. Here's the description from the site:

Currently we are forming "libraries" of laptops equipped with the voice-controlled software for wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines at each major military medical center to check out during their stay. Copies of the voice-controlled software for use on home computers are also available to servicemembers who still need it as they leave the medical center. In special circumstances, a laptop may be provided to a soldier for his or her permanent use.

Each fully equipped laptop will cost an estimated $685 (plus shipping), thanks to retailer discounts. Thus, the first two phases will require an estimated budget of about $110,000. Full implementation will require an estimated budget of $600,000 (click here for specs and estimated/expected costs).

Hope you can help support Project VALOUR-IT. Click on the link below to contribute to this fine effort for the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country.
