Dear Congresswoman,
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. My name is Kimberly Castro and I am writing to you in regards to the treatment of the soldiers in the Guam Army Reserves and National Guard who have served time in Iraq. With all due respect, I believe these soldiers are not receiving the benefits they should be entitled to – such as: their retirement money should they decide to retire after their tour of duty. Medical care should be afforded to these civilian warriors. Although they are not contracted under active duty, once activated to a war zone they are considered active duty soldiers. They receive active duty pay and benefits. However, once their tour of duty is over. They are sent home and once again labeled as reservist or guardsmen, who are not given the benefits they deserve for fighting for our freedom. I feel that this issue should be addressed. Thank you once again for your time.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Castro
