In memory of my father, Ronald J. Morlock, I always choose a team and support Project Valor-IT. This year, I'm once again going for Team Army, in honor of Dad's service as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division.

What does your donation to the project do?

Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, helps provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptop computers and other technology to support Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries. Technology supplied includes:

Voice-controlled Laptops - Operated by speaking into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, they allow the wounded to maintain connections with the rest of the world during recovery.

Wii Video Game Systems - Whole-body game systems increase motivation and speed recovery when used under the guidance of physical therapists in therapy sessions (donated only to medical facilities).

Personal GPS - Handheld GPS devices build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI and severe PTSD.

The way I see it, it's the least we can do for those who are giving so much to us to give them back mobility and dignity.



Dig deep, will you? And then...
