Rockwell Collins gives us needed security

I would like to thank Clay Jones and Rockwell Collins for providing jobs in Cedar Rapids. I also would like to thank them for providing much-needed technologies over the years to our nation's peacekeepers.

My first knowledge of Rockwell Collins was the ARC series of radios used by our military providing much-needed and reliable communications through many launches and recoveries from our carriers stationed throughout the world.

Rockwell Collins has been and always will be a premier supplier of up-to-date equipment required to keep this country as we now know it. I also would like to recognize Mount Mercy University for providing a venue for the award so richly deserved.

To those who feel the need to protest I suggest you go home and remove the locks from your home; apparently you see no need!
