PHOENIX, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For the third consecutive year, TriWest Healthcare Alliance, the Department of Defense's TRICARE contractor in the 21-state West Region, is a major sponsor of the Congressional Medal of Honor Convention, held this year from Sept. 3-10 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
