Sgt Kelly B. – “With honor and grace.”

“Having to leave here one year old son to serve this country is an incredible sacrifice. She has done this with honor and grace, which demonstrates her overall character and service to the USA.”

A second nominator wrote:

“Kelly is a very hard worker, recently promoted to Seargeant in the Army and leaves behind her 1 year old to defend our country and serve overseas in Iraq. She takes care of herself and is a very caring soul. She hopes to enter the nursing field when she returns from Iraq.”
