Powerful story of overcoming tremendous odds- and what we can overcome if we simply have a goal/dream. Terrific individual and we are lucky to count him among our ranks.

Capt. Marty Hogan--- Outstanding young man and some story. How many could endure his fight to come here. Glad to have him as a Airman in our USAF. Have a great Day.
