The story doesn't start to tell the whole story. Most of the defense contractors making stuff here in the states hired service vets and most of them have a good number of those very same folks in OIF/OEF right now. From the very start, going in when the unit went in and coming out when the unit came out. Over and over and over.

Sandrat-truley that is one of the reasons I support our contractors. I know of a company who hires returning OIF\OEF veterans for contractor work - so back they go... and one group who hore Vietnam Veterans. I am glad you brought it up here- because some people don't believe me as much as I have tried to educate them.

This is a very important topic to me- since I have been told- by a veteran nonetheless, that Contractors don't deserve much moral support from us since they get plenty of money. (what a bunch of bunk!)

I have disagreed with those folks.... and BTW, check this out: For the Civilians (and veterans) who are involved in OIF\OEF

And you will see how important the issue is to me on my profile page at the bottom. I hope you have better luck educating people about our contractors background and service to this country, than I have had here at FR. :]

Good job SandRat!!
