Project Valour-IT

So, you're one of those people who won't donate unless you get something tangible in return, eh? Or, you like to get kewl stuff that *also* has some Good Works attached.

Okay - I got something for you.

Murray, the Castle Worker-in-Metals, lives in New Zealand. He has a business. One of the items he hand-crafts is, Gnome Homes. Yep, Gnome Homes.

The Castle Tree is home to a Gnome Home.

What's cool about Gnome Homes (aside from they're just... kewl!) is that for every one sold, Murray donates $1 to Project Valour-IT. 24/7, btw, not just during a fundraiser.

Stay tuned to this space to see what Murray does for a fund-raiser...

In the meantime - the Army Team continues to maneuver towards the objective - thanks to those who've helped so far - and for the rest of you... it's Payday! What's yer excuse?

It's a tax-deductible donation and eligible for matching funds from companies who do that sort of thing (see: http://soldiersangels.org/valour/irsinfo.html for proof for the cautious).

The snail mail address for those who'd rather donate that way (be sure to put ARMY in big letters on the check):

If cease fires in the name of peace actually produced peace the Middle East would be the most peaceful place on earth by now.

Notable Quotes

"It's not difficult to understand why somebody might pick up an AK-47 against us. Maybe we killed his father in the first Gulf War, maybe in this Gulf War, maybe he's just a dick.
~Sgt. Reginald Abram
Third Armored Cavalry Regiment in western Iraq.

Quoted in the Asia Times, Oct. 24"

President Bush on terrorists in Iraq:

"They can't whip our militaries. What they can do is get on your TV screens and stand in front of your TV cameras and cut somebody's head off, in order to try to cause us to cringe and retreat. That's their strongest weapon." . . .

Carrie Sez:

" Perhaps we should have another category of conservatives besides paleocons and neocons. "Narcissocons" with the motto "We are always on our minds". If you happen to be one, you are not allowed to have or spend the older quarters because there's a MEXICAN EAGLE on the back. Oh the horror." . . .

Princess Crabby on Iraq:

" Maggie said: "If you believed an incident such as this could change your mind then you really weren't supporting OIF/OEF for the right reasons." " . . .
