Iraq and Afghanistan

Iraq and Afghanistan – We Are Still There?

Many of you may know that I have been in the military. What you might not know is that my Dad was in the military and went to Vietnam a few times and retired after 20 years from the Army. My husband went to Iraq and is retiring after 23 years next month from the Air Force. My Grandfather was in World War II in the Air Corps. Most of my friends and peers are military-oriented.

It does not matter if I believe in our current wars or not, it is not my call – obviously. I DO believe in the people who are doing this work and fighting in these wars. My frustration and concern is that these wars have basically dropped off the map in our media coverage and because of our country’s economical issues; the soldiers may have fallen out of our country’s consciousness. Although our country is going through economical hard times, many people may not fully understand how many military people are ALWAYS going through economically hard times. No one gets rich serving our country – sadly.

I am finally in a position in my life to give back.

Anyone who has served, or is serving, in Iraq or Afghanistan and cannot afford our training, I would like you to please contact me directly. We have seats in our open classes that I can easily give you for free to those who really deserve them.

I have worked hard in my life but have been very fortunate and I am finally at a place to ‘pay it forward’.

If I can help, please contact me directly (shonharris@logicalsecurity.com) and let’s see if we can erect a ‘pay it forward’ movement for our military.
