DRS Technical Services, Inc. (NYSE: DRS) marks this seventh
anniversary of 9/11 by sponsoring a day of free calling for all
troops serving in the Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and
Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) theaters to the USA over the SPAWAR
MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) network. "The anniversary of
9/11 is a time when we reflect on those who lost their lives and
honor those who serve to protect the freedoms we all enjoy. As DRS
begins its second year supporting SPAWAR activities, which provides
a needed morale boost to our troops and their families, we believe
that the anniversary of 9/11 is a day when our deployed forces
should be able to connect with parents, children, spouses and
friends without personal expense. We can never forget the price
that they are already paying on our behalf," said Dr. Mitchell B.
Rambler, president of the Technical Services business segment.
"Every day we hear about the sacrifices made by U.S. military
forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, we learn about the
hardships and challenges being faced by their families back home
through our partner, Operation Homefront. This free call day is our
way of saying 'thank you' to the those who proudly serve our nation
so well and the friends and families that support them at home."
The SPAWAR MWR network is the largest and most accessible troop
support communications network in the two war theaters, providing
our troops a communications lifeline to their friends and families.
The Technical Services business segment provides comprehensive
network and information technology support and services to domestic
and international users in remote, austere and hazardous locations.
