Ishia Barajas, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, Human Resources & Management 2016

“Veterans Day is a time of reflection and an opportunity of discussion with my children/family. A celebration of the sacrifice, courage and resiliency of those who have served. Our family has six veterans, with me being the only female veteran. What’s amazing is four of us are Marines – we celebrate our birthday and then our brothers and sisters the next day.”
