CODEY ANNOUNCES EFFORT TO SUPPORT U.S. TROOPS
Used Bulletproof Vests to Protect Military Vehicles from Bombs

(TRENTON) Acting Governor Richard J. Codey today announced a statewide drive to collect used bulletproof vests that U.S. troops in Iraq will use to line their vehicles to protect themselves against bombs.

"We are establishing regional drop off points at our National Guard Armories to collect used bulletproof vests to give our troops every possible protection," Codey said.

The Acting Governor urged all local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to donate used vests to strengthen armor on military vehicles in Iraq. Some groups have already begun campaigns to collect vests.

"The response to existing efforts has been both enthusiastic and generous," Codey said. "What we hope to do is accelerate the process, and make sure the vests get to Iraq as soon as possible so our men and women return home to their loved ones."

Maj. Gen. Glenn K. Rieth, the Adjutant General of New Jersey, said the dropoff sites will be located at the Atlantic City Armory (1008 Absecon Boulevard), the Lawrenceville Armory (151 Eggert Crossing Road) and the West Orange Armory (1315 Pleasant Valley Way). Collections will begin on Tuesday, Jan. 11.

Rieth stressed that the vests are only needed for use on military vehicles. "Every soldier being deployed to Iraq has his or her own personal body armor," he said.

"These brave men and women are risking their lives in the name of freedom," Codey added. "This is one way we can demonstrate our support and appreciation for the sacrifices they are making on behalf of our nation."
