The Star Spangled Salute is brought to you by
Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Navy Veteran Ericka McKim. Ericka began experiencing severe back cramps, a list of digestive issues and brain fog. After two years of treatments, the Navy determined Ericka was no longer deployable. This was a hard time for Ericka saying she wanted to serve her full 20 years because she loved travelling the world and serving other people and having a purpose. After being medically retired in 2014, Ericka discovered healing and a renewed sense of purpose by starting her own business, the And I Like It Bakery. Now, with a $10,000 prize from DAV, the entrepreneur can take the all-natural sweeteners and keto-friendly treats she created to an even bigger market. Ericka was presented with the Arthur H. and Mary E. Wilson Top Venture Impacting Veterans Award. Congratulations Ericka on your success and THANK YOU for your service.
