Default Cat graders

We are subcontracting to build armored cabs that replace the original cab on a few military graders and other pieces of equipment. I'll not go into the details of the construction...

The son of a co-worker has been deployed to Afghanistan. The son is told that the equipment will follow...

When the equipment arrives, a brief phone call to his dad confirms his suspicions...

His dad helped build the cab of the grader he will operate.

This is a photo he took of the grader and some of his compadres.

Let's not forget on this Memorial Day the people who have in the past made it possible and are doing so in the present .
