Looks like we're going to have a great celebration here at work Nov 11-12th.

At our offices we're going to have MRE tasting, weapon displays, uniforms, military gear and hardware, along with hummers (real hummers not H2s) color guard, and active duty members in full battle gear. Apache's and chinook's will be landing for us to look at and NASA Astronaut LCDR Chris Cassidy. We can get our photos taken with him. Look at his bio. (bio: http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/cassidy-cj.html).

How did you arrange that? Did you post a video about making WMDs on utube?
 
OMG Evo, he so{drools} hot! The other stuff seems fun too.
 
What if they give a demonstration of the active denial system.

I'm glad that I read the e-mail. I feel sorry for people that show up to work that day and think we are under attack.
