America. The land of the free and home of the brave. Our brave servicemen and women who put themselves in harm's way to maintain our freedom are an invaluable asset to our nation. But they can't do it alone. They require the help of private contractors. While our service members are fighting on the front lines, they are assisted on those front lines and back at their bases by a myriad of workers. These foreign nationals provide many assistance in many ways. Some of this help includes, but is not limited to:

This inflicted harm can be physical, mental, and many times, both. Some of the injuries include, but are not limited to:
Fortunately there is compensation for these brave contractors through the Defense Base Act.
