I know LT SMASH is a sailor (arr, matey) but Mrs. SMASH is heading up the fundraising efforts on behalf of the Navy for a good cause; Project Valour IT. Head on over to The Indepundit and if you can spare a few pennies donate to their efforts (it helps all services, not just the US Navy).

My good friends over at The Mudville Gazette is heading up efforts for my US Air Force so I'd really like you to donate money there. I'm a military guy and gave $25.00 to the cause; I'm sure you can spare a ten spot or more.

We're an equal opportunity blog here at Conservative Thinking so it'd be inconsiderate to not mention all services.

Another good friend, Holly Aho, is taking the lead on Project Valour-IT efforts for the US Marine Corps. Hoo-Rah!

Last and least is Blackfive heading up the fundraising cause for the US Army. I'd say HUA! but I'm not the HUA type.

I've talked with all these bloggers personally and they are all great people. The Soldiers' Angels are also great people with an incredible cause. If there is any charity you should donate to on a regular basis it's Soldiers' Angels.

Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, provides voice-controlled software and laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations at major military medical centers. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, our wounded heroes are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the 'Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field without having to press a key or move a mouse. The experience of CPT Charles "Chuck" Ziegenfuss, a partner in the project who suffered hand wounds while serving in Iraq, illustrates how important this voice-controlled software can be to a wounded servicemember's recovery.
