Texas Hero Spotlight: Chief Petty Officer Chereigne Smith

We should all feel very privileged to live in a free country and call the state of Texas home. We are so fortunate every single day, although those freedoms were earned by so many brave men and women who fought for our country and there are still so many that are serving this country right now that deserve so much respect. We wanted to highlight one Texas hero and shine the spotlight on her and what she is currently doing for our country.
