" Of the many pieces of gear we have bought since the beginning of the war... the Defenshields work. They have saved dozens of U. S. and Iraqi soldiers’ lives," said Major L. A. Casserly with the USMC, I MEF, in Western Iraq.
The Defenshield team is proud to call Palm Coast home. Ten years ago, the company became“ local.” The leadership had scouted multiple locations from Washington, D. C. southward, and Palm Coast was chosen as the forever home of the firm. Defenshield is proud to add a unique professional perspective to the Flagler County business environment.
Life forever changed on that terrible day in September 2001. The talent and innovative thinking of America’ s private sector was needed more than ever to secure government buildings and shield those who spare citizens from the bullets and explosives of terrorists and career criminals. Collins White and Defenshield answered the call and made it their mission. They look forward to the next 23 years of protecting those who protect us.
