Roseville, CA, April 25, 2016: Regional Operations Director at Red Robin Nicole Jones has organized another care package drive for Support Our Troops®. Last year, Nicole was able to rally 42 restaurants in Oregon and Northern California to collect goods to send to our active duty service men and women, adding up to $6,500 in goods delivered to troops deployed overseas!

November 9, 2015: Many were only 18 when they left home, volunteering bravely for the unknown. They surrendered their youth and family time and worked endless hours, even forfeiting holidays. They only owned what they could carry. Without question, they protected our freedoms, maintained our borders, gave humanitarian aid to those in need, and they did all this sometimes hungry and without showers.

December 16, 2015: Absence from loved ones, Christmas traditions, and the comfort of family rituals is one of the most difficult moments of a soldier’s deployment. In some of the most dangerous locations, even the sound of Christmas carols could bring trouble.
This Christmas, our soldiers are holding their posts in Kuwait, Afghanistan and other undisclosed locations. Some of these places may have electricity while others, like FOB’s, may be void of modern amenities. A Christmas card, a ribbon or a bow can go a long way in reminding troops that we are here and we are thinking of them. A string of lights and a few sweets to remind them of the taste of home can make time overseas easier in a moment where nothing has been easy.
The cards that travel in our care packages come from children and schools, nursing homes and churches from across America. Every care package contains a note from Support Our Troops® showing soldiers where their gifts come from, so they know that those warm wishes are from a town and from a community much like the one they left behind.

Researchers are working to create a new design for the Harry Potter-esque invisibility cloak, which will conceal objects, making them more difficult for adversaries to detect. (Photo: DoD photo Illustration )Recently – To scientists, it's called the "dielectric metasurface cloak." To the rest of us, it's something that makes you invisible, at least according to the people at the University of California-San Diego. It was invented by a team that includes professor Boubacar Kante, and it's possibly a huge step breakthrough in the ongoing quest for invisibility, according to an article in the Army Times. Not surprisingly, the work has military interest, and Kante and his team are planning to submit a proposal this month. The applications are obvious – something that could aid the military in hiding an object trying to get close to an objective would be valuable indeed.
"Unmanned Areal Vehicles and other planes, ships and anything else interested in dodging radar could have a use for it. And it could also be used as high-end camouflage for any background colors," the article said. "The Homeland Defense & Security Information Analysis Center is a Defense Department contractor tasked essentially to be a matchmaker for the Pentagon and academia/industry. Kayla Matola, research analyst for HDIAC, told Army Times the UCSD design is lighter and cheaper than anything else out there, and “basically what the military’s looking for” regarding cloaking capabilities.
