Could it be that some of this stuff is approaching mainstream status? Probably not for a bit I suspect, but at least awareness is up! Keep up the pressure! Glad to see the general recognition for all those who labored in making HICs a consistant reality and the personal recognition for those lost in the Iraq HIC.

Either way great to see field Information Management teams being recognised! I trust 2007 will see more focus on inter-agency field support and data standards!
