Note: New price schedule, thanks to a major reduction in our cost

Our cost is $35.00 per upgrade for all Service branches except those who still use the older PASGT helmet. That upgrade kit costs us $57.00. This price change represents a 40% savings over retail price. Thanks, Oregon Aero. Now, let's hope other manufacturers follow the recommendations of the Army testing lab and adjust their pad sets for comfort as well as protection. Until then, we're still urging them to do so while providing the helmet pad upgrades our troops need and ask for.

Checks are preferred, as PayPal takes a bite of about 3% for service fees.

Our distribution is through troops in the field who are knowledgeable about the needs of various units deployed or to individual warriors or units for whom specific donations are received. All donations so specified are sent to the individual troop, unit, or service branch. Donations intended for a specific unit MUST have a name attached, as units will not accept 'to anybody' packages.

Any amount is appreciated. As the old saying goes, it's better to light one candle than to curse the dark. And a bunch of small candles equal a whole lotta light!  Together, we can save lives. Families or friends of troopers are encouraged to donate what they can afford. If you can afford to pitch in few bucks when donating for a family member's helmet upgrade, there's a number of troops with NO family support who also need help. Donations are not required, we send upgrade kits to troops as long as our funds hold out.

If you would like a helmet demonstration, drop us a line.  We can easily do this in Houston, Philadelphia, and Washington DC, or a few select locations around the country.

We send these kits to YOUR trooper's unit as funds are available if you provide us their address: Stateside or APO/FPO with the priority on those deployed in danger zones and those that need the financial help.  Please feel free to approach friends, neighbors, business, churches, schools, service clubs, etc. to help us with funding. We've been besieged with requests due to recent deployments and have a large backlog of need. 100% of donated funds go to purchase and ship the upgrades. There are NO employee/admin costs deducted. We are a purely volunteer-driven organization and depend on help from other troop supporters, as well as our own efforts, to raise funds.

The life you save may save another!
