Retail Partners: There have been several attempts in the recent past to purchase chemicals or other materials through retail outlets that can be used to make explosives. In a few critical instances, retail personnel reported their suspicions to law enforcement and thwarted a potential attack. The suppliers of these materials were not limited to laboratory and chemical supply companies. They also include retail outlets such as home improvement stores, beauty supply stores, drug stores, and grocery stores. The law enforcement officers investigating these incidents have found that the targets for the explosives include critical infrastructure, such as electrical power stations, reservoirs, hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants, and other facilities. Because the cases have not come to trial, details cannot be provided here. Nonetheless, they demonstrate the crucial role retailers play in protecting our Nation. Think about the consequences if retail personnel fail to report their suspicions.

Natural and man-made disasters in the United States cause pain and heartbreak to our fellow citizens. Picking up the pieces of shattered lives and homes is devastating, even to the stoutest among us. While the military cannot repair the emotional damage, it can mitigate the effects of tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, wildland fires, oil spills, and terrorist attacks.
