I am writing this letter on behalf of my husband, Specialist First Class Donald H. Dugan, and my family. My husband was killed disarming an explosive device while deployed in Bosnia.

He was portrayed as careless for trying to disarm the explosive when specific guidance had been issued to leave explosives alone. He was not careless.
