Operation Helmet

Help if you can

      Operation Helmet has garnered publicity by the way of Cher participating and promoting a very important cause.   It has been a widely publicised issue of the NeoCon Warmongerers not providing personal armor or armor for the humvees.   It makes me even more furious that they have thrown billions of dollars away in Iraq and now it comes to light that a simple add-on for the helmets of our soldiers can save them from damaging their brain when involved in combat and non-combat incidents.   It proves in my mind that Bush does not, nor has he ever cared about the troops that are fighting his illegal war.  
It is outrageous, beyond all comprehension.   If you are able to help in this cause please do so.

Mission - OPERATION HELMET
provides helmet upgrade kits free of charge to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as to those ordered to deploy in the near future. These helmet upgrades do three primary things:

• * Comfort - If it is more comfortable, it will stay on troop's head longer and more often.


• * Stability - Keeps the helmet firmly on the head and out of the eyes.


• * Protection - Shock-absorbing pads keep the helmet from slapping the skull when hit with blast forces, fragments, or being tumbled along the ground or inside a vehicle. This decreases the chance of brain injury from bombs, RPG's, vehicle accidents, falls, etc.

As a secondary benefit, the pads make the helmet actually float in water.
