Veteran Story: Alex Tang
Tomorrow marks the 17th anniversary of the 911 attacks on New York and the Pentagon. Earlier this summer we came across a woman with a little different story. Alex Tang told us she signed up after visiting the 911 Memorial Museumthrough a program that reached out to immigrants that today no longer exists. Even though Tang has left the Army she still is deeply connected and moved to help our soldiers.
