This year, she and friend Jack Schell attended to a warm welcome from all the veterans present. They applauded the unselfish, dedicated service of these young women who braved the dangers of being on a firebase in the front of the combat zone to visit with us. Jenny gave a rousing "Welcome Home" speech at the Saturday evening banquet.Oct 07, 2016
