“Recently, my family faced a test that was unlike any we had faced before: fighting COVID-19. My husband contracted the virus and spent 4 days in Watauga Medical Center, where he received excellent care from doctors and nurses. I tested positive, was totally asymptomatic, but, of course, was quarantined and understand the frustration associated with that. Thankfully, though, I was able to continue my work without interruption, unlike so many others. We have always been grateful for those in healthcare, treating others at their own risk, but we understand the situation they are facing better than ever. We are even more grateful for the men and women fighting on the front lines to protect the American people. They do so not out of self- interest but rather through a solemn commitment to protect the sanctity of human life. We will be forever grateful for their countless sacrifices and will continue to pray for their safety and for God's grace to continue. To those impeccable men and women serving, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. ____________________”
