Below is a link to USAA's Veterans Day keynote address by Illinois National Guard Maj Tammy Duckworth, current Director of Illinois Veterans Affairs. Her speech on the theme "Commitment to Service" was too good to keep to ourselves so I wanted to share it with you in hopes you could spread the reach of her message. Director Duckworth's comments on the value of our servicemembers and how they guarantee their work with their lives is powerful -- especially when you consider her personal sacrifice and the loss of both legs when her Blackhawk helicopter was hit with an RPG. Because of her loss, she speaks personally and powerfully to the strength of our military and the teamwork, courage and sacrifice they display on the frontlines every day.
