Bumped again to give it some additional visibility.

I don’t do pledge drives, but here is a charity and project I believe is well worth supporting and one I have personally supported for a number of years.

If you don’t see the graphic, you can find out  more here.

Here’s a bit about the purpose of the project.

    1. As a currently deployed soldier and Veteran thanks for supporting this organization. One of the hardest parts of recovery for millitary members is the lack of independence, Valour-IT has found ways to work around this hurdle.

    2. Dan,
      It is one I’ve supported for several years now. For someone who enjoys the benefit of our military and the sacrifices they make, It’s the least anyone can do.
