Army Specialist B.J. Jackson of the 186th Military Police Company was selected to be part of a team whose mission was to set up camp and headquarters for the entire unit’s arrival in Iraq. On August 7, 2003, B.J. was driving a Humvee with other soldiers through Baghdad. The vehicle triggered a roadside bomb and was immediately hit by a rocket propelled grenade. A thick, black smoke cloud billowed and the soldiers were besieged by Iraqis firing AK-47s. B.J. was trapped in the burning wreckage. Several hours lapsed as soldiers fought off the insurgents and worked to extract B.J. from his vehicle to transport him to safety. He was then airlifted to an Iraqi field hospital for immediate care, then to Kuwait and finally to Germany for additional treatment. 
The 25C tax credits have been retroactively reinstated from 1/1/12 through 12/31/13. Equipment that qualifies for the $300 water heater tax credit includes natural gas, propane or oil water heaters with an energy factor of .82 and higher or a thermal efficiency of 90% or higher. Electric heat pumps or hybrid water heaters may also qualify depending on the energy factor rating.
Are you trying to determine the age of your hot water heater? You may have looked the the rating plate on the back of your water heater and seen a confusing string of letters and numbers. Each manufacturer has a different way of of reporting important information such as serial number, capacity, wattage, warranty information and manufacturers date. It can be hard to decode what exactly all of this information means. American Water Heater Company, A.O. Smith , Bradford-White, Lochinvar, Rheem, and State Industries all have different ways of documenting the age of the water heater.
