IV 110th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 92 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 15, 2007 Ms. Hooley (for herself, Mr. Blumenauer, and Mr. Ortiz) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Recognizing and commending Dr. Robert Meaders and all of the volunteers and contributors of Operation Helmet for their efforts in sending out 35,000 helmet upgrade kits to members of the United States Armed Forces deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Whereas, since March 2004, Operation Helmet has provided over 35,000 free helmet upgrade kits to members of the United States Armed Forces deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan; Whereas these helmet upgrades offer a greater level of protection for members of the Armed Forces by providing a better-fitting helmet and increased shock absorption, decreasing the chance of brain injury from improvised explosive devices, bombs, vehicle accidents, and other injuries; Whereas Dr. Robert Meaders and the entire staff of Operation Helmet are all unpaid volunteers who began Operation Helmet with the sole intention of providing needed equipment to members of the Armed Forces; and Whereas Operation Helmet depends on donations for funds to procure the helmet upgrade kits and allows Americans to demonstrate their gratitude to members of the Armed Forces serving in the Global War on Terror: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress recognizes and commends Dr. Robert Meaders and all of the volunteers and contributors of Operation Helmet for their efforts in sending out 35,000 helmet upgrade kits to members of the United States Armed Forces deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
