We join with those who mourn the loss of life,  the injuries, and the disruption of lives caused  by the attacks  against Washington,  DC, and  New York, N.Y.    All those effected -- the brave people who helped in rescue efforts, those involved in America's response to terror and in the war with Iraq-- are in our thoughts and prayers.

As you all know, we are in THREATCON ALPHA!

There have been several instances on Vandenberg AFB where individuals have left their briefcase, purse, box or package unattended and without identification clearly displayed, or none at all. 

When this happens an evacuation is conducted and EOD (the bomb squad) is called out.  Once retrieved by EOD's robot, the item in question is blasted to pieces with a high power water round -- resulting in total destruction of everything inside. 

Please DO NOT leave these items around in common areas and, at a minimum, have the following information on the item's ID tag.

Name
Address
Phone Number (Work & Home)
Military Unit or Company Name
