She won't have to worry anyway, she's is going to be awarded a scholarship, not sure from what university though.
This troubles me, because they are calling her a hero, but why? Why is she a hero? Yes, she was a pow and she survived but she survived because those soldiers that were keeping her allowed her to stay alive, what about the other soldiers that they found in that hospital? I am very grateful, don't get me wrong and I think it's a great thing that she survived and will soon be home. But to me, the real heros are those that raided the hospital to recover her. More importantly, the TRUE hero, IMO is the lawyer that walked many miles through the desert to reach Marines and tell them about "the american soldier" in a hospital. After which he was asked to go back to gather as much detail for an operation while risking his life and the life of his family. He is the hero to me, what that man did was a great thing.
