#Repost @ywcapierceco (@get_repost)・・・Today we honor Tammy Duckworth – who is celebrating her 50th birthday today! She is an incredible woman, the first Asian American woman elected to Congress in Illinois, first disabled woman to be elected to Congress and the first member of Congress born in Thailand. Tammy served in the U.S. Army before she became an elected official and suffered severe physical injury in Iraq, leading to her losing both of her legs and damaging her right arm. She is a champion for disability rights along with women’s rights and immigrant rights. She is also a mother, and is expecting her second child in April, making her the first sitting senator in history to give birth.Thank you, Tammy for fighting for the rights that we all deserve!
