thanks Dan thank you yeah so my story and sadly a pretty tragic one in 2011 I
lost my husband Staff Sergeant Jeremy Katzenberg er he was on his eighth
deployment with the 1st Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment and at the time I had
been working as a registered nurse and our son was about 7 months old and when
we lost him in 2011 a big part of my grief process was putting together
pieces and figuring out what I was going to do with the rest of my life because
when you bury your husband at 20 s yeah and all your hopes and
and it's so for me a big big step in my grief process with the decision to go
back to school to get a masters of Education and become a high school
biology teacher and folds of Honor stepped in and make sure that I I got to
make that dream a reality and for me it was pivotal in my grief process and
putting together my pieces as a mom a woman and just a future for myself
contributor and making sure that those hopes and dreams are put together for
thousands of other possible scholarship Wow your son who's now 7 years old is
gonna have a future used scholarship very briefly Chet sorry we're gonna
