Support The Troops

Cindy points us to the latest incarnation of Project Valor IT – a “Soldiers Angels” production. The goal is to raise money to provide assistive technology to wounded servicepeople.

Me? Well, I’m from North Dakota. We are a maritime people in NoDak; the salt water is in our veins. And many is the North Dakotan, stranded on the drift prairie in mid-blizzard, who’s looked in relief to see a Coast Guard chopper flaring out to pull them to safety, or a Navy Snow-Cat hoving across the drifts with food, fuel and water, the skipper on the bridge barking orders down the voice-tubes to the helmsman.

Also, my twin uncle was a submariner. And the Navy is behind.

So here’s a link to the “Navy” donation page (and a list of the Navy team)
Anchors aweigh, and let’s turn it out for the skimmers, bubbleheads, flyboys and coasties!
