A moment I’ll never forget from our trip to France in 2019. Hard not to be humbled by the courage and sacrifice of those who gave everything for others. Happy Memorial Day🇺🇸

Home from a great trip to San Diego. This team will always be special to me- not because of the ⚽️. Families in this group checked in on me everyday as I navigated cancer. They sent pics, videos, & updates when I couldn’t be there. And they loved up on Kallie West a little
