Patti Patton Bader on Valour IT
Patti Patton Bader, the founder of Soldiers Angels, joined Bruce McQuain from QandO along with Gregg and I to discuss the ongoing fundraising drive for Valour IT, an amazing project that provides voice activated laptops for our most severely injured soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines.
As he began to recover, CPT Ziegenfuss wanted to return to writing his blog, but serious hand injuries hampered his typing. When a loyal and generous reader gave him a copy of the Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred software, other readers began to realize how important such software could be to CPT Ziegenfuss’ fellow wounded soldiers and started cast about for a way to get it to them.
A fellow blogger (blog author) who writes under the pseudonym FbL contacted Captain Ziegenfuss and the two realized they shared a vision of providing laptops with voice-controlled software to wounded soldiers whose injuries prevented them from operating a standard computer. FbL contacted Soldiers Angels, who offered to help develop the project, and Project Valour-IT was born.

Thank you so much for giving Patti this forum!
Btw, the liberals are beginning to step up and blog about Valour-IT, thanks to Malkin’s challenge (as mentioned on the interview): http://michellemalkin.com/2007/11/03/project-valour-it-update-where-are-the-liberal-blogs/

This liberal, at least, contributed because it’s a good cause. Don’t thank Malkin; her attempts to turn it into a pissing content have almost made me regret it.

Mike,
Good for you. It is a great cause.

I have seen how these laptops change lives and give hope to those who have given so much.

What a great interview with Patti. She is truly an ANGEL. We have been sending packages for about a year and a half. We are now on our third soldier. We will be sending a check soon. Thanks for posting this. We arrived here via Powerline.
Thank You.
