Today, we honor Jennifer Cooper.  Jennifer enlisted in 2000 after seeing the movie G.I. Jane and thinking, “I can do that.” She said they even called her “G.I. Jen”. Stationed in Kosovo, she served as a combat flight medic. But soon after, she got sick, experiencing rashes, headaches, and nausea. At the time, she was pregnant and thought that was the cause of her symptoms. But in 2013, doctors found the first brain tumor. She had surgery to remove the tumor in 2015, but a stroke left her with half vision in both eyes. Jennifer met and married her husband in 2018 in a small, humble service because that’s all they could afford. Fast forward to today, she faces a life threatening surgery to remove another tumor that, at best will leave her blind.  The one thing she wanted more than anything was a dream wedding. Hearing this, local businesses, friends and family made it happen in a beautiful ceremony and reception.  Congratulations, good luck on your surgery and THANK YOU for your service.
