WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - May 14, 2009) - Sanswire Corp. (PINKSHEETS: [ SNSR ]) today announced that David A. Christian, Chairman, met with senior US Senators and House Members to discuss veterans issues, and to introduce the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, Senator John Kerry (D-MA), to the Sanswire technology for the "War Fighter" and border protection.

The most serious of meetings, lasting over one hour, was conducted in the Russell Senate Office Building's main conference room with discussions about expanding the availability of defense contracts for service disabled veterans, 100 % Disabled Veterans and Purple Heart recipients. All Congressmen and Senators involved in private discussions were briefed on Sanswire's airship programs and their use in border security and intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR) missions.

The most fruitful of discussions took place in Senator Kerry's Office. "I have known Senator Kerry for more than three decades," stated Mr. Christian. "He has been a tireless advocate for our veterans and the members of the US Armed Forces. It was with great excitement that I presented Sanswire's capabilities for security as I look forward to our airships protecting our borders and our troops on the battlefields."

Sanswire is designing airships that can be used for border security on the US Northern and Southern borders and in providing surveillance capabilities in the Florida straits between Cuba and South Florida. Additionally, Sanswire airships can play an important role on gathering intelligence in the Global War on Terror. The airships are being designed to carry sophisticated intelligence gathering equipment at various altitudes for long endurance missions. Sanswire's airships are intended to be a cost effective solution compared to other unmanned aerial vehicles. The airships can be used to provide communications, ISR and total awareness capabilities on the battlefield.

David A. Christian is, himself, a war fighter and considered the youngest most decorated military officer to fight in Vietnam. He was medically retired as a US Army Captain, having received gunshot wounds and Napalm burns while serving 3 years, 9 months and 18 days fighting with Special Forces, Army Rangers and Special Operations. He has reported, as an expert, on many network television shows, with Fox News and CNN carrying his commentary worldwide as he reported on the siege of Baghdad.
