He saved six soldiers' lives -- with a child's toy
Remote-control model truck checks for explosives -- and triggered a deadly bomb

In 2007, Fessenden and Guy sent Fessenden's brother, Staff Sgt. Chris Fessenden, a radio-controlled (RC) model truck outfitted with a wireless video camera to help him check for bombs under trucks and search for improvised explosive devices (IEDs) on roadsides in Iraq. That same remote-control truck, essentially a souped-up children's toy, ended up preventing the potential deaths of six soldiers two weeks ago in Afghanista
Guy said he has been in contact with the Department of Defense and Traxxis, the maker of the truck, known as the Stampede, to help provide more of the toys to soldiers. On Monday night, Guy launched the website Trucks to Troops, where people can donate money to help send remote-control trucks to soldiers who can benefit from them.
Our great nation keeps discussing doing something about becoming less dependent on oil and all the side effects that are strangling our society and world. It makes absolute sense to go to as much renewable and green energy projects into motion as is humanly possible. Yet we are moving at a pace that makes Uncle Joe from the show Petty Coat Junction look like the Flash. We stand at the edge of an abyss in the time line of our planet and from where I sit it appears as if we might just jump into it if we don't come out of the oil dependent daze that we are in. PLEASE Mr. Obama wrestle away the control of our energy policy from the greedy oil gangs and get it back into the hands of sane Americans that have the vision to see our country and world going on to infinity. We should be at this increasingly critical period of the human time line doing everything in our power to incorporate a policy of energy development that is in the best interest of our world. As you already know and talk about it will create many jobs here in America and abroad and it will start to wean us off the deadly oil habit that we have acquired. I have a friend whom is a dairy farmer in upstate NY in the town of Chateaugay. He is married to 70 cows in a job that is never ending and he loves it. He tells me that for many years now he has been getting less for the milk than his father did 40 years ago. Many, many of his fellow farmers have folded yet he continues on. Then a few years back a great project of putting windmills up comes to the area. He is approached and he leases his farm for 5 years so they can investigate it with the plan being for several on his farm and yet the cows can still wander amongst them and he can still do what he loves to do. A beacon of hope in what had been an increasingly bleak looking future. Over 500 of the windmills go up and many farmers are out buying now trucks and equipment. Mountains of wire and transformers needed for the power grid are stacked on town land next to his farm and he patiently waits for his share of the wealth. Then the project comes to a halt and all the materials vanish. The reason is because the Canadian Hydro electric producers drop their price below what the windmills can produce at and what had been the answer to a prayer vanishes. So now we just wait for the next hiccup in the energy nightmare and the answer will not be in place. Mr. president your legacy should be that you were the one that got the country on the track to where it should be on the energy problem. That you were the one who had the balls to stop the oil gangs from ruining and raping our great nation. It just seems that logically we should be heading to as close to a green energy pan as is humanly possible. NOW is the time to act before it is to late.
