FALLS CHURCH, Va. – A new website design at www.tricare.mil gives beneficiaries a faster, more personalized way to get the TRICARE information they need.

Sgt. Christopher Duke reunites with Rufus at PetAirways on Thursday, July 29, 2010. Rufus was one of the dogs that saved his and other soldiers' lives in Afghanistan.
Article By Chelsea Cook
for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
An injured Army Guardsman home from Afghanistan was reunited Thursday with two of the heroes that saved his life in February, but there were no handshakes or salutes. There was, however, a lot of tail wagging.
Sgt. Christopher Duke, originally from Franklin, Ga., submitted a “wish” to non-profit organization Hope for the Warriors to adopt the dogs he had befriended at his forward operating base in Paktia, Afghanistan. After hearing the story of how Rufus, Sasha and Target saved his life, the organization couldn’t say no.
“That night was just like any other night,” Duke told the AJC on Thursday. “I was using the Internet. My roommates were in our room … playing cards, and they heard the dogs going crazy, barking and growling, which was abnormal. They yelled, ‘Be quiet! Stop barking!”…
READERS SHARE THEIR POETRY: “MY RESPONSE TO SGT. LENIHAN’S POEM”
Posted on the DCoE blog by Nick F. Stamatis, Army veteran on July 30, 2010
In May the DCoE posted a poem by a now deceased World War II veteran named Sgt. James Lenihan, in which he expressed his torment about killing a German solider during the war.
That DCoE post was picked up by CNN, and Lenihan’s son Rob was asked to share the poem with viewers and soon became a part of a national dialogue surrounding Memorial Day. Hearing from readers across the world, it was the DCoE’s mission to help people reflect, share and connect with others who have been affected by similar issues and provide resources to help them.
Army veteran Nick Stamatis, almost 70, was one reader who wanted to help. He posted a poem in the “comments” section of the DCoE blog, in response to Lenihan’s poem. Stamatis later told that when he heard Rob Lenihan read his father’s poem on the news:
“I nearly broke down…. I had the feeling that I needed to give voice to the dying soldier…

(CBS) In nearly a decade of war in Afghanistan and Iraq, 5,620 Americans have died. Survivors of these fallen heroes are entitled to a life-insurance payment and the government uses a private company to handle it. What happened to the mother of 24-year-old Ryan Baumann of Great Mills, Maryland when she tried to collect serves as a lesson to every military family.
According to a Bloomberg Markets Magazine investigation,insurance companies have been profiting off of the death-benefits of fallen heroes…
