Its not considered breaking news now, but at one time it was top secret information that dolphins were assisting the U.S. military. A lot of talk has been made over the dogs in Veitnam and all the service they provided for our country. Medals have been awarded to the dogs that have served in war time and I do think they deserve them. They have stood tall with America and the dog handlers that took care of these war dogs had a tremendous amount of respect for them. I’m not sure if a dolphin handler gets the chance to bond with their partner as much as the dog handlers did. I’m sure they are some stories of death that dolphins gave for this country and they have played a big part in helping us at sea.
The U.S. Navy has dedicated a lot of time and energy into training these dolphins to help serve in war time and in peace times. Dolphins can’t help soldiers on the battlefield, but when the battlefield moves below the surfaces of the oceans, then the dolphin becomes a good soldier for America. It’s really incredible to think about all of the things we have used dolphins for in the past and what possibilites these beautiful animals can provide for us in the future. I’m not sure if anyone knows just how many dolphins our government or the military have in their possession for tasks at seas, but I’m sure the slogan would read something like “We are looking for a few good marine mammals”. These soldiers might not be new, but dolphins may play a crucial part in our peace efforts and these may just be the new soldiers of America.
America’s ability to think outside the box has allowed us to stay ahead of other countries in a military mind game. American troops now have the newest and latest tech gadgets to assist them in their duties. The unmaned drones that fly over battlefields and in hostile regions are great for taking pictures, recording information, and laying down firepower when needed. This type of technology will save lives for our troops now and in the future. The use of animals like dogs and dolphins only makes us that much stronger as a military nation that seeks world wide peace someday.

Think about all the automotive performance parts ads that you see where they have the man working on the car and the woman bringing them the parts. Women can now Shop for a New Car Here and get expert advice on what and where to purchase their next vehicle, make a service appointment, or get a quote on their next vehicle.

As I was traveling this past week I had some time between flights in Denver so I decided to stroll the airport to find out what shops and restaurants they had available. I noticed the digital signage that they had up in the overhangs and the walls and one in particular that read ” If you are staring at this so will are the potential thousands of customers that read this everyday” It was a great way to showcase that you have a ever changing audience that you can capture through this very effective medium. The sign then changed over to a an ad about a local ski resort. The digital age has ushered in some great advancements and helping those that are attracting new customers in just one of those applications.

Like Traffic Control Devices and cones , and Personal Safety Products just to name a few should see money flowing into their projects.
The are other parts that will incetivise first time home buyers and new car buyers to go green when they purchase a new Hybrid vehicle. There will be opportunities for companies that supply such items as Vehicular Warning Lights for construction and small businesses who work with government and states on roads and bridges to realize tax breaks which they can then pass onto their employees in the form of reduced payroll taxes. While this little bit has been intriguing it still remains to be seen what version of the bill will pass and just how long before the funds start to flow into the system to make a difference.
