| Description: |
A troubled teenager growing up in suburban Chicago, Joanne Palella decided that the U.S. Army would offer some structure in her life. The Army trained her as a truck driver, a specialist in ammunition and explosives, and a military police officer, skills she employed when she served in the Persian Gulf War. Now a civilian teacher, Palella is grateful for the education she received while serving her country.
