Today, I Salute Air Force Veteran Lindsay Guitierrez. For Lindsay, service and sacrifice was something that didn’t stop after she left the military. Gutierrez served six years in the U.S. Air Force, deploying to Qatar and Djibouti, and it was her deployment to Djibouti that encouraged her to pursue a career in social work. She says the work she is doing is assisting communities, and helping change lives, and making things better for people. Then she found out about a nonprofit called Donor Outreach for Veterans (DOVE) and she realized it was time for her to act. She not only decided to donate to help save a veteran, but she also became a dual organ donor, donating both a kidney and part of her liver, saving the lives of two Veterans. Thank you for your selfless gift Lindsay and THANK YOU for your service.
