Disabled employee recognition
Former Army Spc. Nathan S. Short and his supervisor, Vicki Hoppes, attend a ceremony at the Pentagon Oct. 8 to recognize the contributions of disabled employees. Mr. Short is a medically-discharged Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran who was severely injured on April 20, 2004, during a truck accident in Kuwait. In 2006, he was hired for an AbilityOne-affiliated contracted position as a truck-fleet manager at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. (DOD photo/Gerry J. Gilmore)
