    Last month in the Chicago Tribune there was an article about Vince Przybyla, the last ocularist working for the US Army, who had been making prosthetic eyes for injured soldiers for 33 years.
    The article had interviews with various soldiers who had been injured in the latest wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who lauded the quality and care which Mr. Przybyla put into his work and his genuine concern for the soldiers whom he was working for. Unfortunately, Mr. Przybyla suffered a heart attack last week and passed away on Tuesday as a result of another heart attack while in Washington Hospital. Now our injured servicemen have lost a true friend and advocate.
