Our Warriors Need Your Help
Both those in or deploying soon to Afghanistan as well as Iraq.

Operation Helmet has generously donated helmets for the The Graffiti of War Project's team for our Summer Expedition starting in June. Because of their generosity we decided to provide them space on our website to further their cause to provide helmet pad upgrade kits to our brothers and sisters-in-arms deployed or deploying to combat zones around the world.
Their organization is listed on America Supports You, the official Department of Defense website for recommended troop support agencies (see listing), as well as on the HQMC (Headquarters, Marine Corps) web site under the same banner. They are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitible organization (EIN: 20-1756585) making all past and future donations tax deductible to the individual or company.
If you would like to know even more about Operation Helmet and how you can get your community involved, please visit their website, www.Operation-Helmet.org/getinvolved.html. They have a list of actions you can take to join the struggle to ensure our warfighters are given the care and tools they need both on and off the battlefield.
The Graffiti of War Project and Unconventional Artists, LLC supports Operation Helmet and their mission to ensure not one soldier, marine, airmen or sailor is in need of proper, protective headgear. We encourage our fans and supporters to join us in supporting this worthwhile organization.
We have listed their mission and a short list of their officers and representatives for your convenience.

Our philosophy is quite close to that put forth by the noted philosopher, columnist, comedian, economist and actor, Ben Stein:
"I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters and that it is my duty, in return for the lavish life God has devolved upon me, to help others He has placed in my path. This is my highest and best use as a human."

Operation Helmet has no connection to or association with any manufacturer of helmet suspension systems. Their only goal is added protection for our troops. If a better upgrade comes along, supported by sound scientific data from both civilian and military studies, they will add it or switch to it in a heartbeat.
They do not have an official relationship with any branch of the uniformed services, although they provide helmet upgrades to all who ask, when money allows. All admin expenses related to the organization are still covered by Doc Bob. Their books are open to inspection by any person at their home office.
