                         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
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
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.
