Marine Veteran Hired for Military Markets Ground Team

EAGAN, Minn. (April 23, 2009) - Shield Technologies Corporation is pleased to announce that Andy Parks is now part of its Military Markets ground team. The new hire reflects Shield's achievement in continuing to attract the most experienced professionals, while leading the market in the custom design and manufacture of sophisticated protective covers.

For the past five years, Parks has been on active duty with the U.S. Marine Corps. Trained as an air defense artillery officer, he spent the majority of his active duty time serving with the infantry. In 2005 he deployed to Al Anbar Province, Iraq, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as an adviser to the Iraqi Army. During his deployment he received the Bronze Star Medal for valor in action against the enemy. Upon his return home, he was selected as a trainer for other adviser teams preparing to deploy. In that role he personally prepared and influenced more than 400 Marines for their demanding adviser tours in Iraq, a role he held until he left active duty in 2008.

Parks will be based in Florida and will be responsible for Marine Corps, Army, and National Guard activities in the eastern and southern regions of the United States.

"Andy will help us strengthen our relationships with the Marine Corps, and the Army and National Guard ground combat and logistics communities as we continue to address their issues with maintenance and readiness," said Tom Nelson, general manager of Shield Technologies Corporation.

About ENVELOP® Protective Covers
Envelop Protective Covers are the next generation of environmental and operational covers, replacing ineffective vinyl tarps and corrosion-inhibiting chemicals that contaminate the environment. Envelop covers were originally developed to protect military weapons and other assets from water, salt, humidity, sand and other sources of environmental degradation.

More than 14,000 Envelop covers are now used by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and allied navies. They are also available for consumer and industrial applications such as oil and gas machinery, commercial shipping, amusement parks, airplanes, gun cases and cruise ships.
