Home Of the Brave

3.6/5 ( ratings)

The basis for this story is two-fold. First, it is imperative to bring to light a desperate need for rehabilitation facilities that will more efficiently serve today’s men and women veterans who are wounded and/or disabled. Second, an example of precisely why such a need has become imperative is based on the true story of an Air Force nurse. If she could only speak, she would likely tell you in great detail why proper housing and more individualized care for today’s veterans is sorely needed.
Major Kristine Ratliff, RN, USAF, pediatric intensive care unit nurse, two times deployed to Iraq, suffered a traumatic brain injury after being hit broad side by a truck on her way home from work at San Antonio's huge Lackland Air Force Base hospital. Watching her smile and hearing her laugh today gives us the greatest hope, even when we know the light at the end of the tunnel is still very far away.
People ask every day, “How is your daughter doing?” I simply stop and reflect, and thank God every day that she is here at all. I consider all that she has endured on this tremendously long journey back, then I smile and say, “She is awesome!”
