SITUATION a. With the continued use of mines and IED as terrorist weapons-of-choice in Iraq and, to a lesser extent, Afghanistan, we will continue to see troops suffering blast/burn injuries arriving at the military hospitals of Landstuhl, Walter Reed (Army) and Bethesda (Naval).

Those suggestions *are* doable, especially since this looks like it's gonna grow legs. I've got a couple of things cooking. I'll keep you guys posted... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/08/opord_1.html#comment-30633 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/08/opord_1.html#comment-30633 Wed, 10 Aug 2005 10:51:48 -0600 Suggestions: 1) Can we come up with a t-shirt or other item at cafe press with the Project VALOUR IT logo and/or website (with maybe a fighting fusileer logo from Barb's website) that can be ordered to wear? 2) Can we run a contest for the highest donar from each website to receive, compliments of the fighting fusileers, a complimentary item from the "freedom" section and/or the new Project VALOUR items? I am already guaranteeing such a prize from my website, but would like to offer a Project VALOUR IT item so people can show it around. Should we give any proceeds from any Project VALOUR items to the project? Just some thoughts at o'dark thirty. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/08/opord_1.html#comment-30624 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/08/opord_1.html#comment-30624 Wed, 10 Aug 2005 06:41:58 -0600 Reporting as ordered sir.
