Maj. Derek C. Schneider is a member of the U.S. Army Civil Affairs Branch, currently serving as Public Works Officer, Public Facilities Team, 308th Civil Affairs Brigade. He can be reached at DerekCSchneider@aol.com. He has an interesting post over at Soldiers For The Truth.org. Worth the read.
Thanks to Ralph H. for the tip!
