David Spade Joins with Operation Helmet to Help Protect Our Troops
Hats - or helmets - off to David Spade. The Rules of Engagement star teams up with Operation Helmet to provide 3,000 blast- and impact-protecting helmet pads to U.S. combat troops.
Montgomery, TX, March 19, 2009 --(PR.com)-- David Spade, actor and comedian, is well known for his humor, comedy and wit. But today he is deadly serious about helping our men and women in uniform. Spade is teaming up with Dr Bob Meaders, founder and president of Operation Helmet to provide three thousand (3,000) of our combat troops with the very best blast/impact protecting helmet pads America can provide.
The military helmet pads now in use are so hard they cause headaches, distracting troops’ concentration from their dangerous and sometimes deadly missions, so Spade decided to pitch in and help remedy the situation. Better, equally protective and much more wearable helmet pads allow troops go about their missions in comfort as well as safety.
Patriotic Americans have donated to Operation Helmet’s provision of 41,000 helmet pad upgrades to date and they are gratified that yet another Hollywood notable has put their money and heart into helping bring our warriors home safely.
A Man never stands so tall as when he unselfishly helps another.
