Retired Ontario soldier deployed to Persian Gulf
The USO and Troops First Foundation recently deployed six wounded warriors to the Persian Gulf as part of the fourth "Operation Proper Exit," tour.
The tour is designed to bring closure to service members who were wounded in combat. The group will revisit areas that they once patrolled, said Lindsey Kell, program director for the foundation.
Ontario native and retired Corporal Charles Dominguez is among the service members that have been sent.
"This gives them the chance to leave on their own terms and not the enemy," Kell said.
Dominguez joined the Army in 2004, serving with the military police. In August 2006, he was injured by a suicide bomber while in Iraq. He suffered second and third-degree burns to his face, back and hands.
He serves as the building manager for the Warrior and Family Support Center at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.

Hi, sorry for requesting this request here, but I am not ableto find a contact form or something so I felt like I leave my question here. I run a blogengine blog but I am receiving large amounts of spam. I see u use wordpress, is it simpler to control spam with wordpress or doesn't it make any difference? I hope you will respond to my comment or maybe send me an email with your answer if you don't want to approve the comment. Best regards, Annie
