Subject: RE: Obit: KBR employee dies in Iraq (Feb 2007)
As for alot of middle class skilled tradesman myself being a Journeyman Electrician, due to the economy my family, my wife and three beautiful children, are in a financial bind. I get my 40 hours working but because of the increase in the daily cost of living my 40 hours has become insufficient. I have an opportunity with KBR to make more than double what I bring home annually working in Iraq. Is it worth the risk of possibly getting severely injured or even killed? No. But I have to do what I need to do for the well fare and financial stability of my family. I depend on the troops for which I support to protect me while I am there, I will bring my skills and expertise to them to make their lives better and safer electrically speaking if that is the least I can to for them I will severely miss my daughter and 2 sons while I am gone as well my beautiful wife. I put and trust my life in GODS hands and pray that he will bring me home safe.GOD bless all who read this.
