Do you want to do well and do good, too? Well, if you’re a military history buff, a Marine, a fan of the Marine Corps, or simply someone who wants to know as much about the current Iraq War and/or Gulf War I, this is your lucky day! You can help buy voice-activated laptops for our wounded heroes and do something good for yourself…at the same time!
Richard S. Lowry, a prominent historian and author of “Marines in the Garden of Eden” and “The Gulf War Chronicles” generously donated two personalized (signed) copies of each book to Valour-IT. Team Air Force member Fred Griego volunteered his eBay sellers account to auction off the items, thereby raising money for Valour-IT.
About “Marines in the Garden of Eden” (from the official book web site):
The (book is the) true story of the bloodiest battle in the campaign to oust Saddam Hussein.
It began on
For the next week, An Nasiriyah was rocked with gun and mortar fire, as the Marines of Task Force Tarawa fought to wrest control of the city from Saddam's fanatical followers.
This is the story of the battle for "The Nas," as seen through the eyes of the soldiers, sailors, Marines, and newsmen who made it through those terrible seven days, and would never forget what they experienced, what they learned-or those they lost in the name of freedom.

About “The Gulf War Chronicles” (once again, from the official web site)
The Gulf War Chronicles opens with the first Tomahawk missile launches that began the war. From there, readers are walked through the myriad of events and battles that occurred between January and March of 1991. The book ends with the return home of the 34 POWs who were captured during combat.
Richard’s attention to detail will satisfy even the most curious military historians. He breaks down events as they unfolded in the air, on land, and via the sea. The stories provide not only high level information about different engagements, but also take readers right into the events that occurred with small special operations teams trying to fulfill their missions.

Bid HIGH, all y'all. And good luck.
