Guess who I was able to meet?

I was beyond honored to be the keynote speaker at the Veterans Administration hospital award ceremony for female veterans today!  Not only was I able to meet each of these ladies, I was able the thank them for giving me the freedom today to stand proud as a female and honor them!
