To the right of this post, you can see a large thermometer which measures how much people have been donating to the Navy team competing in the Project Valour -- IT fund raiser. To remind you, Project Valour -- IT is committed to providing laptop computers to severely injured troops. Computers aren't free however, and it takes public support to make the program happen.
Fund raising this year has been low, so Soldiers' Angels, the marvelous service organization that sponsors the fund raiser, has added an incentive: if you donate more than $25.00 using one of the Make a Donation buttons on this page, you'll get a special Soldiers' Angels gold colored coin with the insignia of the branch of the services that represents your team. (At least, that's what I've been told, although I can't guarantee that.)
So, if you feel that today would be a good day to make a profound difference in someone's life -- and, more specifically, in the life of someone who was willing to put his or her life on the line for you -- please head over to Project Valour and make a donation. If I'm right about the incentive, you'll get a gold coin for your efforts, and if I'm wrong, you'll still have the knowledge that you helped someone in a direct and meaningful way.
