Hello, everybody! I want to take this opportunity to plea for a worthy cause to support our troops this Christmas. The current standard issue Kevlar helmet that our soldiers are given fits loosely with a lot of wiggle room,(I had one that actually fell over my eyes most of the time.) and will rock violently when given an impact, and even if the helmet stops a bullet, the resulting blunt force trauma can kill or permanently disable the soldier wearing it with intra cranial bleeding. The government has slated their replacement with a better design over the next eighteen months. That's good, but may be too little too late for the soldier serving in a war zone.

What can be done? Operation Helmet has invented an upgrade kit that can be installed with only a screwdriver and consists of an improved webbing strap, and pads that fit snugly around the head, absorbing shock and minimizing movement of the helmet when impacted. The cost is less than $100, and can be designated to a specific soldier, unit or a donation can be made in general. Operation Helmet promises that when you donate, an upgrade kit WILL reach a soldier.

This is a worthwhile gift and gives us a way to help protect the lives of the men who are out bravely risking theirs everyday to protect us. Go to operationhelmet.org and check this out, PLEASE!!!
