This banner proclaims what was celebrated by some employees and managers of Lockheed Martin Thursday evening and we were invited because Vernon contributed to the missile. In the picture below, Vernon is pointing to his contribution, the millimeter microwave radar device in the front of the missile that enables it to see through smoke and fog in order to strike the target. The missile can be used on fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft by the Army, Navy and Marines - all can use the same missile. It isn't yet in production but will be a great weapon.
It is called a "win" party because Lockheed's product was deemed best and won the contract over competitors who also wanted it. I'm holding the camera to get us and the banner in one shot.
A man who saw me take that picture, offered to take some of us so we let him. Vernon always offers to do that for other people so it was nice to receive that gift from someone else.
Some of the party was inside the hotel but there were also tables outside on this terrace and it was a perfect weather night for being outside. The shirt Vernon is wearing features the logo for the project and was given to him a few months ago. So now maybe you have a little more idea what he does at Lockheed and why they are glad that he is still with us and contributing to the team.
