"The brave men and women of our armed forces risk their lives for our freedom, and they deserve the best for their selfless dedication," said Jim Sexton, whose father in-law, Hugh Wild, served in the armed forces. "Our troops overseas put themselves in harms way each day, I`m honored to have the opportunity to help Operation Helmet provide equipment that promotes safety."
