"At that time I had no use of either hand. I know how humbling it is, how humiliating it feels. And I know how much better I felt, how amazingly more functional I felt, after Soldiers' Angels provided me with a laptop and a loyal reader provided me with the software. I can't wait to do the same, to give that feeling to another soldier at Walter Reed." - Captain Chuck Ziegenfuss at TC Override (wounded in Iraq)

John Noonan emails:

Richard S. Lowry, author of Marines in the Garden of Eden and the Gulf War Chronicles was generous enough to donate two personalized copies of each book to Valour-IT. Team Air Force member Fred Griego volunteered his ebay sellers account to auction off the items. Please include these two links in your next Valour-IT update:

I'm glad to see Bryan Preston giving the project some publicity. Didn't realize he was a vet but knew he was someone I'd get along with.

Captain Ed's aboard too. He's not a vet but his heart's always been in the right place.

Thanks, Michelle!
