On the right rear of every M1 Abrams tank, you will see a little tube sticking up.

We were asked by the U.S. Army to invent a method of measuring the wind speed and direction, with no moving parts.

The three of us invented that instrument!

That is what I have done for the last 35 years as a software engineer. I make things happen, even if nobody will ever know my name.
