The therapy started by these caring medics by playing gin rummy with their patient will continue long after this Soldier's return to the US. In addition to providing laptop computers to wounded service members, Soldiers' Angels Project Valour-IT also provides technology such as "Personal GPS" devices, which help build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI.
