Next month, the Way Cool Wife will fly down to Washington DC to visit the wounded as a representative of the Soldier's Angels organization.  Wouldn't it be great if she could say that the Voice-Activated Laptops for OUR Injured Troops Soldier's Angels is trying to purchase with the help of your donations are on the way?

To help with this, the Fighting Fusiliers have once again been called to muster; this time to help Soldier's Angels reach their goal of raising $600,000 to purchase equipment that can be used by soldiers who have lost the use of their hands either temporarily or permanently. As Bill of Castle Argghhh! writes

Previous generations of soldiers were connected to their families by mail, and in past wars, volunteers from the Red Cross, local schools and Veterans’ Organizations would visit the wards and offer to write letters for those unable to do so. This generation of soldiers is electronically connected by e-mail, chat and Instant Message, and more than a few are bloggers.

We can use your help spreading the word or donating directly to Soldier's Angels.

Sgt B of The Gun Line blog has set up a blog specifically to track the progress of this effort.

Please help make the Way Cool Wife's visit to the wounded even more rewarding for those who have sacrificed for us than just getting to be in her wonderful presence.

Donate today.
