The honor serves not only as a tribute to one dedicated woman, but also as an inspiration to others looking to give back to those who served.
Congratulations to this Cedar Rapids nurse and veteran on a richly deserved recognition. Her service — both in uniform and in her professional life — is a true gift to the community she calls home.
