Did you buy these ceramic inserts for vests?

The one Iraq has the inserts to borrow when he has to fly or ride point on convoy. His unit shares a lot of equipment. The jackets aren't any good without the inserts from what I have been told.
The son in Afghanistan needed a lot more help due to his job. The were issued very little in the way of riot gear which is one of the duties.

It probably wouldn't do any good, but did you contact your congressman about this lack of gear for your sons?
