MIL Cares
MIL CARES donates care packages to deployed troops! Go Camo!!
Last month, care packages assembled by our Charleston branch were shipped out to roughly 300 active duty soldiers and
airmen. MIL worked with Soldiers' Angels, a volunteer-led nonprofit, and their #GoCamo campaign to help distribute the
packages.
MIL would also like to honor the courage and
sacrifice of all those who have been wounded
or made the ultimate sacrifice while defending
our nation on Purple Heart Day. Their bravery
serves as an inspiration to us all, reminding us
of the sacrifices made to ensure our way of life.

Compensation Pay Processing team in Charleston. With only
four months on board at MIL, Zatae had already began to make
an impact on her team and everyone she came in contact with.
Zatae brought nearly a decade of experience supporting quality
assurance, logistics, customer service, and administrative tasks
to her role on the CGFS team.
Outside of MIL, Zatae was a devoted and loving mother of
three amazing children (ages 5, 10, and 21). She was also
the daughter of a retired U.S. Marine, a sister, aunt, cousin,
and friend to many. According to those that knew her best,
Zatae was hardworking, caring, compassionate, strong-willed,
independent, and intelligent, earning an associate’s degree from
Horry-Georgetown Technical College.
Zatae will be profoundly missed by her family and friends,
including her sister Zalencia Joyner who works on the IFAS
Payroll Support Customer Support Team. Please extend your
comfort and support to Zalencia in this time of grief. For those
who would like to offer support to Zatae’s children through this
life-changing time, her family has set up a Go-Fund me account.
While we’ve all lost fellow MIL team members, some of us have
also lost friends. Please reach out with kindness to any coworker
you may see struggling and offer your support. Should you need
any additional assistance coping during this challenging time,
please make use of our Employee Assistance Program which
offers grief counseling with clinical experts.
