Unless you live in or around Illinois, you may never have heard the name Tammy Duckworth.
This year, she ran for congress to represent Illinois' 8th district.
She and I don't necessarily share all the same political views. However, I do think she is truly inspirational. Here is a full length picture of Congress Woman Duckworth -
Duckworth is an Iraq War veteran, who served in the U.S. Army as a helicopter pilot. She suffered severe combat wounds, loosing both her legs and damaging her right arm. Despite that, look at what's she's done with her life. Instead of sitting around feeling sorry for herself, she has charged full speed ahead, showing the world her ability, not her disability. That's pretty amazing. Tammy Duckworth is also the first disabled woman to be elected to the House of Representatives and the first congress member born in Thailand. I think she is an INCREDIBLE role model to both girls and boys. She also does wonderful things for our active serve men and vetrans. That's why I decided to share some information about her on this blog.

Until Next Time!
Lots of Love,
