PORTLAND, Ore. (Sept. 19, 2016) – Abom, Inc., the company that developed and patented an active solution to prevent fogging in goggles, today announced retired Marine General Peter Pace, sixteenth Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will join the company as an advisor.

As Chairman, Gen. Pace served as the principal military advisor to the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council. With more than four decades of leadership experience and active military service, Gen.
