She is amazing.

Please, IL voters, vote for her!

She is quite wonderful!

She lost her right leg near the hip and her left leg below the knee[10] from injuries sustained on November 12, 2004, when the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter she was co-piloting was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade fired by Iraqi insurgents.[11] She was the first female double amputee from the Iraq war.[1] The explosion "almost completely destroyed her right arm, breaking it in three places and tearing tissue from the back side of it".[12] The doctors "reset the bones in her arm and stitched the cuts" to save her arm.[12] ~~~~> Duckworth received a Purple Heart on December 3 and was promoted to Major on December 21 at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where she was presented with an Air Medal and Army Commendation Medal.[11] She retired from the Illinois Army National Guard in October 2014 as a lieutenant colonel.[13] She returned to school and completed a PhD in Human Services at Capella University in March 2015.[14]
