We haven’t always been in the lead, but we’ve been leading most of the time thus far, due to the incredible efforts of Cassie Fiano and Cassandra at Villainous Company.
1. Jules has our Marine of the Day.
2. Cassandra’s Dad has offered to match the first 10 Marine team contributions for $100. That means $2000 for the Marine team, so please get the word out by blog, Tweet, or email and point them back to this donate link so that the Marine Team gets the credit and we kick more squid, poodle and army *(aren’t ready for marines yet) butts.
3. For anyone making an ‘in memorium’ donation, we’ll post your loved one’s name – Cassandra at VC will do it in her sidebar – and she’ll keep it up there after the contest. I’ll do the same – keep it up in my sidebar the rest of the year until the next Valour IT. This is a very nice way to honor the memory of someone who’s no longer with us.
3. The Miracle Marine inspires us to look beyond our own troubles and extend a helping hand to others.
4. Cassy Fiano launches our Military Demotivator contest. Details at VC.

1. Who was the first Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps?
