I am a mother of a deceased veteran who took his life after suffering from PTSD due to his combat service while in Iraq. I am very passionate about issues regarding military families. I am easy-going, a good listener, and also a fighter!
I once told a secret service guy when he told me to move that he would have to go around that I was not letting go of my child's stroller so he could pass between us. We struggled for a little bit and then he finally went around behind me.
My Philosophy
Love one another!
