WE ARE THE BEST KEPT SECRET OF THE WARS
According to the US Department of Labor’s Defense Base Act Case Summary Report at least 418 Defense Base Act Death Claims were filed in 2011.
Civilian Contractor Casualties and their related costs are one of the best kept secrets of the Wars.
The Department of Labor does not release the names of the claimants
We scour all internet sources for the names of the Contractors Injured or Killed and are able to identify less than 10% of those reported. Click on our Contractor Casualties tag for most of those we indentified and visit our Memorial Pages which we apologize for being behind on.
We’re breaking this down with more details coming
