Thought provoking Oped in Thuirsday's Wall Street Journal, They Also Serve Who Contract Out

Quote:

"They aren't counted as boots on the ground or considered veterans when they return home. When wounded or killed they aren't saluted by the president or interred at Arlington Cemetery. They are the thousands of contractors, working for the Pentagon or the State Department, who allow regular GIs to go home or to concentrate on combat operations."
Quote:

Since 2001, more than 2,350 American troops have been killed in Afghanistan and more than 4,400 in Iraq. Deaths of contractors are harder to track, since they work for private companies, under contracts for different agencies, and are not all American nationals. But at least 3,200 have died in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to figures from the Labor Department. On Memorial Day, we might ponder, remember, perhaps even honor them. Although they are not in uniform, they have lost their lives fighting America's wars.
Imagine Aggies who have fallen while serving in the Contractor realm are also under identified, recognized.

Army Spc. Dennis C. Poulin, 26, Cumberland, R.I

1st Battalion, 181st Infantry Regiment, Massachusetts National Guard, ****ord, Mass.; died March 31, 2011 at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany, of injuries sustained March 28 in Konar Province, Afghanistan.

I was with him when this happened.


Army 2nd Lt. Darryn D. Andrews, 34, Dallas, Texas

2nd Lt Andrews was assigned to 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, Fort Richardson, Alaska; was killed Sept. 4, 2009 in Paktika Province, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when enemy forces attacked his vehicle with an improvised explosive device and a rocket-propelled grenade.

He grew up next door to my parents in Cameron, Texas. He took care of their pets while they were away from the house. I met him when he was just a kid.

Both very personal.
