Why? Because I lost my son too and it was due to poor repair work by a US hired contractor. Stephen was on his second tour in Iraq and had gone to take a shower. He didn't get shocked, rather he was scalded by hot water. Evidently the hot water tanks had never worked properly and had been repaired,but NO WARNING was posted to inform the soldiers. Stephen received 2nd and 3rd degree burns to arm, body, and upper thigh. Lucky for him some buddies heard him fall when he passed out and pulled him out of the shower. Nine months later we lost him to complications from the pain medication he was taking. (That's a whole other story!!) This happened in 2004 and 3 years later we still have no been able to get a copy of the incident report or any information from the Army about what happened. We also can't prove that it was KBR fault about the repair job, but was told they were the company who did the work. Also told about them hiring out the jobs to sub-contractors, ie - Iraqui locals and cheap labor. <strong>Ms Sparky's Response:</strong> I am so sorry. I beg you to contact the DoDIG. Please send me more information so we can pass it on. The story of soldiers getting electricuted in the showers was 1st passed on to me from a columnist at my local newspaper. Why?
