WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) published a video today honoring Donna Johnson of Birmingham as the July “Veteran of the Month.” You can read parts of Senator Tuberville’s speech below, and you can read his whole speech here.
“ROTC programs also change people’s lives. A perfect example is Master Sergeant Donna Johnson of Birmingham, who began her military career in ROTC at Jackson-Olin High School.”
“The idea of serving those in need motivated Donna to join Alabama’s National Guard full-time. She faithfully represented our state and country across the world, including stops in Iraq and Kuwait as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. While stationed in Kuwait, Donna was asked to sing the national anthem for her fellow service members after her commander noticed her gift of singing.”
“Donna continues to share her love of America through song at various events across Alabama, including Veterans’ Day ceremonies, school assemblies, and athletic events. Donna also generously invests her time in Alabama’s next generation of leaders by mentoring in the Birmingham City Schools’ “Common Ground” program. She serves as a positive role model for young women ages 12-14, encouraging them to rise above challenging circumstances, stay in school, and respect themselves and others.”
I’m proud to honor Master Sergeant Donna Johnson as the July “Veteran of the Month.”
We are blessed to have Donna serving the people of our great state. pic.twitter.com/3B4NpwL7rO
