The OISC is a Project of Community Partners and contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. The OISC became a Project of Community Partners by chance on September 11, 2003. Optical technologies play a big role in protecting our freedoms and liberties. We must NEVER forget 9/11. The great symbols of our country are everywhere; look closely at a one dollar bill. On Sept. 11, 2006 the people of Russia donated and dedicated the "Tear Drop" in memory of those who died on 9/11/2001 and in the World Trade Center Bombing of 1993. Many Friends of the OISC are Russian and we thank them. |
