DuPont technology helps keep American soldiers safe. DuPont ™ Kevlar ® and Nomex ® help protect our soldiers while they protect our country.
The time comes when you have to answer the call.

To leave home. To travel to a far off land. To stand up for people who cant stand up for themselves. yet. To protect the people mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters back home. To keep the people youve grown up with and people youve never met, safe. But in a heart beat it gets tougher. Its up to you to --Walk the point. Step outside the wire. Youre here to protect others. But who protects you? In the desert. In the mountains. In the village. In the city. On the flight deck. In the air. Theres your CO. Your brothers in arms. Your smarts. But theres something else protecting you. You can feel it. But youre not thinking about it now. Its been with soldiers and pilots like you for over 40 years. Its being improved every day. Its a small thing. Just a fiber really. Only microns thick. But when woven together it can stop a bullet. Protect against an IED. Safeguard against a flashfire. Youre wearing it. Its part of your flack jacket. Your helmet. Your combat coveralls. Your flightsuit. Your helicopter. Your tactical vehicle. And it was invented, manufactured and made better by the people back home. Scientists. Factory workers. Safety managers. Technicians. Engineers. Researchers. Who have one thing in mind, Bringing you back home safe. Support giving our armed forces the most innovative protection. http://www.whatkeepsyousafe.com

I did a fellowship with DuPoint (2006-2007) when I was in the Army and it is great to finally see DuPont telling the world what they do and have done. Keep the movies coming. Seeing the fire chamber in person is amazing! Great company and great to see them finally being less humble and telling their story!
