Donations to Operation Helmet

Gift for our Soldiers

It may seem odd to have the charity "Operation Soldiers" selected for a toy lens. But, I think the best gift we can give any child or family is the gift of having their father or mother return home safely after protecting our country and all the beliefs we hold sacred.

Operation Helmet is a 100% volunteer, non-partisan, charitable organization that provides helmet upgrade kits free of charge to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as to those ordered to deploy in the near future.

Blessed by an Angel!

A Squid Angel, that is
