Tammy Duckworth

[dissention]

Is anyone familiar with her? She served in Iraq (piloting helicopters) and lost both legs and the use of one arm when her helicopter came under a rocket-propelled grenade attack; she's now running for congress in Illinois. Here's her website and a few articles on her:
