Need a little help.

A military mother started with the idea of helping her son, who is a Longbow, Apache helicopter fighter pilot stationed in Iraq.  She asked him if he would like a Cooling Vest to help him cope with the typically very hot temperatures encountered there.  His reply was "Mom, I am and we (soliders) are all right.  The military provides for us very well, but dogs have different needs.  It is so hot that they are having trouble doing their job and that puts us all in danger."

Termperatures sometimes reach as high as 140 degrees.  The dogs cannot work for more than an hour to an hour and a half before being completely exhausted.  Our troops are provided with proper equipment but the dogs are our first line of defense in many situations.  They've been forgotten and have no protection against the heat, blowing sands, and rough terrain.

Starline Nunley, the founder of this organization says, "I can't physically protect my son, and all the other sons and daughters in the Middle East.  But I can help the dogs who do.  These dedicated dogs do this service selflessly and with great courage.  Whatever we can do to help them do their job easier is helping to protect our sons & daughters."
