I was inspired by today's cartoon at Delta Bravo Sierra to kick this off. (See also previous SA installments here and here.)
It's that time of year again! Starting 26 October and continuing through Veteran's Day, the (mostly military) blogosphere will be raising funds for Soldiers' Angels Project Valour-IT, which provides technology to our wounded service members.
To make things "interesting", bloggers join teams representing the different service branches and compete to see which team can raise the most money. Soldiers' Angels Germany is proud to be blogging again this year for the Marine Team, led by Cassandra of Villainous Company. See the rest of the team in the right-hand sidebar. We're called The Few... The Loud... THE MARINES!
Keep an eye on the countdown clock and watch for more about Project Valour-IT.
