“If it comes to mother nature and her, she has a very good chance”
— Keith, Stephanie’s first Platoon Sergeant
“I thought about the lessons she learned, —not the physical ones, although there were plenty, but the emotional ones. I have to admit that the tough side of her probably saved her life. But the emotional realizations saved her life in a different way. ”
— Sandi, Steph’s Therapist
“She was born with a strong will. From the time she was a toddler, she refused to take help—”me do.” She always met any challenge with that strong will, and I knew this would be no different, but I also knew that she was not invincible.”
— Gabrielle, Steph’s Mom
