Jordan Fox, a young soldier from the South Hills, is one of the many men and woman being ordered to pay back some of the enlistment bonus. Why? Because they were injured and can no longer serve.
Fox received a letter from the military demanding approximately $3,000 of his $10,000 signing bonus after receiving injuries that prohibited him serving. He was injured just 3 months before his service term ended.
Despite this slap in the face by the government, Fox says "I'd do it all over again... because I'm proud of the discipline that I learned. I'm proud to have done something for my country."
