"The experience that I gained by working in Iraq for four years was life-changing. Living and working in Iraq was at times very hard and the tools sparse, but the camaraderie that came from the shared experience made it all worth it. URS/LSI did a great job of taking care of everyone and I am very thankful for the opportunity."
