Thanks so much for doing what you do!

The following pictures show UPI Manufactured ballistic HMMWV windows welded onto a Striker vehicle.  The windows are so effective they are being used as sniper protection for the Striker gunner positions!

 These photos were sent by a friend of UPI, Benjamin Barningham who has since arrived home safely!
