For those of you who've had family in Military you probably know they went from steel pot (helmet with insert of webbbing to affix to head in combat- good cooking 'pot' without insert) then to the Kevlar helmet that stops a 7.62 or about projectile (bullet) but it still has a bicycle helmetsish webbing (uncomfotable and it moves when your head is jolted) -- As less and less projectiles are being used and more cowardly bombs are being used our troops are suffering more head trama -- fortunately these people Operation Helmet are providing shock and comfort inserts to our troops free of chrge to them (despite the slowness and testing of them by the Military, Congress and the other idiots on Capitol Hill)

Whether you support the war or not -- no one should be without proper gear to be able to come home safe and sound to their families (Please check it out) They dont have a choice on whether they get deployed or not
