It is inspiring for me to read the stories of these men and women who pushed through the awful events of their lives to become not just successful but valuable contributors to our country. We do a disservice to our country when we do not recognize all of that potential. I'm thankful for the courage and fortitude.

Thank you Tara and thank you for your service, Olivia J. Hooker. I salute your courage and patriotism. God bless people such as Ms. Hooker who could just as easily become bitter rather than use her abilities to serve her country.

This woman could have let her past paralyze her future. But with family support and amazing perseverance she used it as a springboard to live life to the fullest. May God bless her family. Thank you, Tara.
