Newman's Own® Awards Announce
PRESS RELEASE Contact: Michelle Baldanza, Fisher House Foundation [email protected] Contact: Brandon Rook, Newman’s Own Foundation, [email protected] Contact: Christine Aquino, Military Times [email protected] Newman’s Own® Awards Announce 2020 Grant Winners *** Funds Continue to Support Military Non-Profits Offering Quality Veteran Care ROCKVILLE, Md (Nov. 11, 2020) – Fisher House Foundation, Military Times, and Newman’s Own have awarded grants to six non-profit organizations supporting military servicemembers and their families. Newman’s Own® Awards provide funding toward innovative programs created to improve the quality of life for veterans. Newman’s Own® Awards began in 1999 and have now awarded more than $2.1 million across 185 non- profit programs. The grant’s name honors the legacy of Paul Newman, founder of Newman’s Own, who sought to help make a difference in the lives of others. Paul, a Navy veteran, served in the Pacific during World War II. Later in life, he came up with his own line of salad dressings, pasta sauces, pizzas, salsas and much more and decided that all the profits from Newman’s Own products would go to charities. “Fisher House Foundation congratulates the 2020 Newman’s Own Awards grant recipients, all of which offer important programs to support our military and veteran communities,” said Chairman and CEO of Fisher House Foundation Ken Fisher. “Thank you to our partners at Newman’s Own and Military Times, along with our distinguished judges, for their dedication to helping non-profits succeed, especially in such trying times.” “Military Times is honored to provide our platform to find and recognize organizations whose mission is to help improve the lives of veterans and their families,” said Andrew Tilghman, Military Times executive editor.

Stockton Ranked #6 in Nation by Military Times’ ‘Best for Vets: Colleges 2016’ For Immediate Release; with logo attached Monday, November 9, 2015 Contact: Maryjane Briant News and Media Relations Director Galloway Township, NJ 08205 [email protected] (609) 652-4593 www.stockton.edu/media Galloway, NJ - Stockton University today was ranked at #6 among the best colleges and universities nationwide for veterans by the Military Times’ “Best for Vets: Colleges 2016,” the most comprehensive school-by-school assessment of veteran and military student services and rates of academic achievement. “Stockton is proud that its Veterans Affairs program, which serves over 600 veterans and active-duty service members, is recognized by Military Times as one of the Top 10 institutions in the country,” said Interim President Harvey Kesselman. “Our student veterans lead the region with veteran graduation rates at over 96 percent.” “Best for Vets: Colleges 2016” is an editorially independent news project that evaluates the many factors that help make colleges and universities a good fit for service members, military veterans and their families.

Marine Corps Equipment After Iraq
Marine Corps Equipment After Iraq by Lawrence J. Korb & Max A. Bergmann, Center for American Progress and Loren B. Thompson, Lexington Institute Marine Corps Equipment After Iraq by Lawrence J. Korb & Max A. Bergmann, Center for American Progress and Loren B. Thompson, Lexington Institute August, 2006 Executive Summary The United States has understandably focused on the tremendous human costs of the war in Iraq, yet there are other costs that must be addressed as well. Earlier this year the Center for American Progress and the Lexington Institute compiled a report examining the impact of the war in Iraq on Army equipment. This report does the same for the Marine Corps, the other service that has borne the brunt of the occupation. Over the past three years the Marine Corps has maintained 40 percent of its ground equipment, 50 percent of its communications equipment, and 20 percent of its aviation assets in Iraq. This equipment is used at as much as nine times its planned rate, abused by a harsh environment, and depleted due to losses in combat. To maintain acceptable readiness levels, the Marines have been taking equipment from non-deployed units and drawing down Maritime Prepositioned stocks, including equipment stored in Europe, thus limiting their ability to respond to contingencies outside of Iraq. Resetting and recovering the force will be expensive. The cost of restoring the Marines’ ground and aviation equipment to its pre-Iraq level, as of the summer of 2006, will require $2 billion plus an additional $5 billion for each year the Marines remain in Iraq.
