News: Armor Group Employee Saves Afghan Boy
A Texan’s quick action saves tough Afghan boy
By LISA FALKENBERG
2008 Houston Chronicle
Two thoughts pulsed through Bryan Mikus’ mind as he assessed the screaming,
bloodied 10-year-old boy curled in the fetal position in the Afghan clinic.
First he cursed the land mines. Then he cursed fate. “Not a kid, man,
anything but a kid.”
What the 35-year-old civilian paramedic from Humble did next won’t earn him
any medals. As a medic and team leader for a security contractor, the Army
reservist and former Marine won’t be eligible for military commendations.
But his actions helped save the life of one little herdsman, who was chasing
an errant goat when the animal tripped an old Soviet land mine that had
waited more than two decades to unleash its blast of shrapnel.
The events, described to me by Mikus and others who were there, happened
weeks ago near the village of Shindand, in Farah province in Western
Afghanistan. Mikus’ company, London-based ArmorGroup, provides security for
contractors converting an abandoned Soviet base into a military training
center for Afghans.
Mikus, a self-described “computer nerd” raised in Boerne, used to fix trader
computers at Enron and was a server administrator at Reliant while working
as an emergency medical technician on the side. He decided to build on his
EMT credentials a couple years ago at Texas A&M and “reinvented” himself as
a medic. (more…)

Boxing is good for reconciliation

Breaking down sectarian barriers by letting youngsters biff each other
When the fighting resumes it will be a welcome return to normality for a bunch of muscular young men in Baghdad’s recently beleaguered Sunni enclave of Adamiya. They have managed, for five years, to avoid bullets and bombs. Now they will be ducking and weaving in a boxing ring where generations of Iraqi champions were reared in times of peace. For the Adamiya Boxing Club, one of the capital’s oldest and most respected sporting institutions, is poised to open its doors again. And the punchers will, it is hoped, come from both Shia and Sunni districts.
Until recently the club, at a strategic crossroads in the heart of Adamiya, had been used as a barracks by the Iraqi army. Its famous ring had been chopped up for firewood by soldiers trying to keep warm. Now the club echoes to the sound of hammers and drills. Volunteers are up ladders, rewiring and repainting. Some 300 aspiring pugilists ranging in age from eight to 50 are dusting off their gloves.
A deal arranged with the Iraqi army by American commanders in the area has seen the club handed back to the community. “Life is far from perfect but it’s a sign it can begin again,” says the club’s jovial boss, Farouq Shamsoon, a boxing legend who fought for Iraq in two Olympic games. He insists that there will be no sectarian animosity. “Our club has always been for everyone.” (more…)
