Bravo to DynCorp and the government folks for honoring these men and their sacrifice. It is the least they could do, and other companies out there who have had injured or deceased contractors should take note.
      I also hope that DynCorp will continue to show it’s appreciation by being there for these […]

     The Labor Department, which tracks injuries to contract workers abroad, recently updated the tally: Since 2001, more than 1,700 civilian contractors have died in Iraq and Afghanistan and nearly 40,000 have been reported injured.
     More than a hundred contract workers have been given the Defense of Freedom medal, a Pentagon citation that is the […]

   Boy, I would not want to be in a military where 30% of it’s soldiers had AIDS.  These men and women could potentially infect others, both through sexual activity, but also through the gruesomeness of warfare. An IED will take one man’s fluids, and inject them into another’s body, through the means of an […]

   This is a treat.  Angela has been an active reader of FJ and of PMH, and definitely has done a lot of work on PTSD issues at her Military Healing Center. She is one of the few out there in her industry that actually care about the mental health of not only soldiers in […]

 
     This series is just heart wrenching to read, and it certainly cuts to the bone.  Contractors are the unappreciated patriots, and we have certainly sacrificed in this war.  T. Christian Miller has done a fantastic job of showing that sacrifice, and informing the public on what exactly is going on with our injured contractors/patriots.
