Sgt Hook liberated my tear ducts yet again (ok, I admit it – I’m a sap), this time with a post he uses to explain why he’s supporting the Valour-IT project.

If you’ve not heard of Valour-IT yet, you must not have been making the rounds of the milblogosphere. Valour-IT is the brainchild of Soldier’s Angels, and stands for “Voice Activated Laptops for OUR Injured Troops.” One of the side-effects of an IED is often the loss of hands/arms, or at the least the use thereof, for awhile. With voice-activated laptops, our comrades in arms could still be tied into the ‘net, email, blogs, etc. Contributions are tax-deductible.
