LauraPosted by unregistered user: CharlieJust goes to show you that Nebraska brings them up right. When she was asked about our Nations Security over the Public’s need to know, she answered absolutely correct. Afterward you can read the history of what happened 20 years later. I’ve served this country in the Department of Defense (DoD) for over 35 years now and have decided to retire, to pass on the job to someone else. I am glad to hear patriotism from one so young. In WWII they said loose lips sink ships. Teresa Scanlan has it right, sounds like a patriot. Good going Nebraska!
That much common sense from a 17 year old girl. That does give one hope for this country’s future. We hope there are more like her all over the country.
