Non-profit Harnesses Virtual World for Real Troop Support | Reuters

Winner of the 2009 CommuniCause New Media Makeover contest, Soldiers' Angels has repeatedly demonstrated a unique ability to engage people in "real world" troop support through "virtual" connections. Such is the case with its Project Valour-IT, which in 4 years has provided nearly 4,000 voice-controlled laptops and other adaptive technology to support the recovery and reconnection of wounded veterans. The annual Valour-IT Veterans Day Fundraiser draws bloggers from across the Internet as they compete in teams to inspire the highest total of donations for the project.

Shows you what social media can accomplish, keep it going.
