nonprofit organizations have launched a new program called the
Returning Hero Counseling Network to provide therapy and counseling
for U.S. troops who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The

personnel and their families. Give an Hour will continue to
recruit volunteers and offers a variety of training opportunities to
registered counselors. If you are a mental health provider and
are interested in donating an hour of your time each week, or if you

CHANGE
TO AUTHORIZED COMBAT PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR
The article, “Battlefield Vision: Eyeglasses for the Soldier,” which
appeared in the July-August issue of Army Logistician, noted
that the Body Specs Pistol eyewear was an authorized option for
Soldiers to use. However, the Product Manager for Clothing and
Individual Equipment has since removed the Body Specs Pistol eyewear
from the Authorized Protective Eyewear List because of testing
failures. The Body Specs Pistol eyewear will not be authorized for
use until the manufacturer has completed the necessary corrective
actions.
The updated Authorized Product Eyewear
List is always available for viewing and download at the following
websites:
