Army Won Me Over
You read that right. I'm on the Army team this year.
What? You don't know what I'm talking about? Well come here and I'll give you the details.
Valour IT is having it's annual fundraiser. It's Army vs Navy vs Air Force vs Marines. The coolest part is EVERYBODY wins.
Raising money for computers for our wounded military is something we should all get behind. It's tax deductable and well - the right thing to do. And don't worry if you can't cut a huge check. Every bit helps. EVERY BIT HELPS.
Plus, we can have a little bloggy fun while doin' a good thing.
Like I said, I'm on the Army Team - lead by Blackfive and Uncle Jimbo
The Marine Team is lead by Holly Aho
Air Force is head up by Mrs. Greyhawk
And Navy is still open
Here's the low down on what, why, when and how:
WHAT: Friendly fundraising competition for Valour-IT.
WHEN: October 30th through Veterans Day, November 10th .
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 Marines are off to a running start with $50,000 already, the Navy a close second with $24,200. Come on folks! We gotta show them who's Army Strong!!!! Get to clickin'. It's the right thing to do.
**CORRECTION: Ok - either I was waaaaayyyyy short on caffine when I posted this so early or there was a glitch - The Marines are showing a total of $570.00 not, $50,000 and Navy is comin' in at $1,372.00. Army is a close second with $1141.00 so we've all got a long way to go. Now excuse me, I'm gonna go get more coffee so I make sure I get on the right plane in a few minutes.......
