Kimberly (Lindsey) Baudoux
Class of 1989
Army, 5 Years
UH-60 Blackhawk Crew Chief. My husband and I proudly served our country side by side. Serving our country is the greatest honor any American can have and I was able to do it for 5 years. I would have done it for life but after being injured while deployed I was medically discharged from active duty. I still carry a lot of pride for my country though. Once a soldier always a soldier. Your life changes once you raise your hand and take the oath to your country. Only other service members can relate to the changes I am talking about. God Bless all of my Brothers and Sisters in Arms.
