In the name of fun, this will be a competition amoung the services. Civilians are up for grabs. Head on over to Blackfive and read the entire post.

Want to be part of something big?

Valour-IT’s online fundraising competition begins today! Let’s see who can raise the most money to help reconnect our wounded warriors with the world!

WHAT: Friendly fundraising competition for Valour-IT.
WHEN: November 2nd through Veterans Day (the 11th).
WHERE: Based in the blogosphere, spreading everywhere else.
WHY: Because giving wounded warriors with hand and arm injuries access to a computer supports their healing and puts them back in touch with the world.
HOW: Blogger teams will be divided along military branches, with civilians “up for grabs.”

The lines are drawn by service rivalry:

Jarheads (Marines) will be led by Holly Aho
Zoomies (Air Force) will be led by Greyhawk
Squids (Navy) not yet led (not joking)
Doggies (Army) led by Blackfive

Non-military bloggers should choose a branch the Army to support.

Now, normally, I don’t take part in the gentle brutal inter-service rivalry, especially during war. But this is for a very important charity. So, civilian bloggers, choose your branch. Choose wisely…

I am a big supporter of this project. So if you have a spare dollar, please donate it. I’m going to try and get the donate button code and post it on my right side bar.

   Doc in the Box left a comment earlier pointing out that there are 6 Army blogs to every 1 Navy blog implying that they really shouldn’t be kicking our ass the way that they are. Well, when a grunt gets his nose rubbed in the mud, he usually sme…
