WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO CHANGE THIS?

When Kate Norley's mother, Pam Mannion, meets friends back in Maryland, conversations center around catching up.

"My daughter's at Princeton."

"My daughter's at UVA [University of Virginia]."

"This person's at Georgetown."

Then, someone will ask Mannion about Norley.

"When she says, 'She's in the Army,' they say, "Oh, I'm so sorry." Like it's somewhere I had to go," Norley said.

Don't be sorry, Norley said.

She's not.

Because this is common...TOO common.

When did service before self become a sad thing?

Anyway...its an uplifting story about a woman who put service to others before herself...treat yourself to the story here.
