At the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month…the guns fell silent along what was known then as the Western Front as the Allies and Germany observed the agreement to end this “War to End All Wars.” While fighting continued sporadically elsewhere, in what were fast becoming the former empires of Russia…
A FedEx Sign Dan Snyder Can’t Ban… (disclaimer: I am a loyal and long-suffering 49er’s fan, but will pull for the ‘skins if the 49ers aren’t playing them. Scriblet #3 and SWMBO on the other hand…)
Three Days to go…and it’s time to press. Current status by team (it ain’t pretty) Neat stuff up for auction here (yes, we’ve bid — and would *really* like an autograph by the author…) Folks – and I’m especially calling out our sea service buds, we need to see some serious action in the funds…

And we’re off…! The 2009 edition of the Project Valour-IT fundraiser is underway and once again, Team Navy is one of the participating teams.
