I met LTG West in Heidelberg, Germany and I was honored by how much she valued my opinion despite my being younger and many ranks junior to her. She was board certified in both Family Medicine and Dermatology, yet the Army recognized that they needed her skills as a senior leader even more than her clinical skills. I would love to work with her more.

@@tdgdbs1 That is always an issue moving up to the top, the hands on gets rusty. That goes with anything in life. What I see is that she encourages others. That is huge for a young person. I remember a story about Jesse Owens telling a young man he could do it; and he did, won an Olympic Gold. As I recall Owens did it at least two more times. And they were not black athletes. We should all do the same, always encourage. The military does it the other way: try to weed out the weak. Did not work with this featured surgeon general, which is what the army wanted in the first place: reverse encouragement.

This gives me so much joy. I was adopted from foster care when I was 18 years old. I'm leaving my dream job of working with teens in foster care job to go back to school for a law degree. Every day I wake up and work hard so that the next generation of young women in foster care get to tell success stories like this one. With Trump in Office, in the middle of one of the most broken foster systems in America (Texas), young people NEED more stories like this to remind them of their infinite strength. I hope some day our Country realizes that Foster Care IS a national issue. I hope that next election, we can all take a moment on BOTH sides of the aisle to recognize that a broken foster system ANYWHERE is an affront to American values EVERYWHERE. With all due respect to this woman's story, I hope that some day every orphan and EVERY foster child leaves the system fully prepared to realize their own God-Given talents. Until that happens, success stories like these, while they are SO worthy of being uplifted, run the risk of drowning out the hundreds of thousands of stories of heartbreak, loss, and the failure of our systems to protect these kids. We need to hear those stories too.

As a former Army medic, being in uniform, everyone was treated equal. There was no race, gender or background that came into play. But in the civilian world, the first year of my employment, I immediately noticed the discrimination, the underhanded segregation and off comments. I felt betrayed and disappointed. Is this the type of country that I swore to protect and defend? Is this what it came to be? I loved the camaraderie and brotherhood and sisterhood of the Army. I so wanted to go back. Those of us who have served know that it is the people we've had the privilege of meeting that kept us going. I pray that, one day, the civilian world wont be so divided and come together as one just like the Army has for me.
