There is nobody else I would have wanted in the boat with me in those moments.She is dependable, determined, and a formidable athlete. The army has given us both incredible support and I am sure she will continue to flourish in her career.Thank you, Heather, not just for the success we shared, but for making it the most fun journey possible.
