“Today’s soldiers and Marines operate in tough and arduous combat environments. U.S. industry must continue to develop the lightest and most protective body/vehicular armors for their protection. Soldiers and Marines must have the confidence in their equipment to execute the missions the U.S. government asks them to accomplish.” -Joe Back Colonel (Retired), US Army -Joe Back Colonel (Retired), US Army “All one must do is walk the halls of Walter Reed to fully understand the need to bring the best technology to bear against the problem. Our young soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors support our way of life. We ask them to be prepared to give theirs. We cannot do anything other than give them the very best.” - Billy J. Bingham Brigadier General, USAF (Retired) - Billy J. Bingham Brigadier General, USAF (Retired)
