Only the Air Force has failed to reach its $45,000 goal in the Soldiers’ Angels drive for $180,000 to buy voice-activated laptops for wounded and injured troops. Pretty good work.

As of Oct. 4, 650 voice-activated laptops had been presented to troops wounded in the Iraq and Afghan, and with a goal of raising $180,000, Soldiers’ Angels wants to buy many more.

"Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, our wounded heroes are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the ‘Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field without having to press a key or move a mouse."

As of 2:40 p.m., they’ve raised about $70,000 so far, some of it mine.
