Headgear for the troops
On Thursday, June 15 at 3:00 ET, headgear expert Cherilyn Sarkesian will testify with Dr. Bob Meaders, founder and president of Operation-Helmet.org, before the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces about the pressing need for an upgrade to the type of helmets that our troops are using in Iraq and other battlezones. Under discussion will be the positive effects and benefits of upgrading the current helmets by using a pad suspension system vs. a strap or sling suspension system.
A photo of Sarkesian with another type of headgear can be seen after the jump.
Cher is testifying before Congress. About hats. I think I have left the planet.

Just having some fun with old Cher. I think what she’s doing is great and am happily surprised that, unlike a lot of celebs, she seems sincerely committed to a not very high-profile issue. Props to her!
