From that liberal rag _Army Times_: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Defense Department officials have laid off most of their case workers who help severely injured service members, sources said.
[snip] The laid-off workers were told Wednesday to finish up their case work with severely injured troops, and that Friday would be their last day. “I’m just livid about this,” said Janice Buckley, Washington state chapter president for Operation Homefront. She was notified that the two case workers at Fort Lewis were given short notice that their jobs were ending, but she has no further information. “They did a fabulous job for these families,” Buckley said. “The kind of work they do for these families who are hanging by a thread ... no other organization helped service members and their families like they did.” The MSIC case workers provided the wounded service members with contacts and referrals to other organizations and agencies, ranging from the Department of Veterans Affairs to the Social Security Administration, depending on their individual needs. Operation Homefront often helps with the families’ emergency financial needs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/01/tnsWounded070119/ -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
