DEFENSE INDUSTRY EXECUTIVE JULIAN SETIAN CONTINUES
SUPPORT OF THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT

Training for Upcoming Ironman Triathlon Competition Pushes Physical
Limits, While Raising Money for Wounded Soldiers


(October 19, 2010 - New York, NY) Julian Setian, CEO of defense services firm SOS International (SOSi), has worked tirelessly to aid the cause of our men and women in the U.S. Armed Services, through his work with The Wounded Warrior Project. For his latest endeavor to help our troops, he has taken on a rigorous physical training regimen in preparation for a major triathlon competition. Sponsored by Ford Motor Company, IRONMAN Florida will be held in Panama City Beach, FL, on November 6, 2010. The IRONMAN event includes a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike trail, and a 26.2-mile run.

Setian hopes to continue raising awareness for The Wounded Warrior Project and the work the non-profit organization does to aid wounded soldiers. In addition to his intense training schedule, he has set a fundraising goal of $25,000. Those wishing to donate can do so through Setian's website, www.julian4woundedwarriors.com, and click on the ?Donate Here' tab at the top of the web page.

?Training and raising money for this event is my personal way of giving back to members of the U.S. Armed Services, ? Setian explains. ?It's also a great way to show the defense contractor community helping our troops who constantly put their lives in harm's way. ?

Setian was inspired by the hope and determination of several troops who were injured in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan; he met them on a recent visit to Walter Reed Medical Center near our nation's capital. Taking on his grueling training schedule and competing in other triathlons leading up to the November 6 event, have refocused his own inner strength and conviction, and drives him even harder to raise money for this excellent cause. (Setian's yearlong training schedule includes 20 - 30 miles per week of running, 150 - 200 miles per week of biking, and 5 - 8 miles per week of swimming.)

Setian is CEO of SOS International, Ltd. (SOSi), a privately-owned consulting firm now in its third decade of providing support to the U.S. government and commercial clients in the Defense and Aerospace industry.
