Tammy Caban's TaTa's

This is not MY story, it is the story of my breast cancer. My breast cancer is but a part of my wonderful and exciting life. I was a survivor even before I was diagnosed. I won't EVEN consider the alternative.... :) Now I realize I am also a Warrior.

Presidential Volunteer Service Award




It's not all about me, ok, well, it still is here on my blog but this time it is about more than my ta-ta's. I'm about to "toot my own horn" rather loudly, so stand back! Technically I'll let the press handle my PR for me! :0)

On Friday, May 16th, I was honored by receiving the President's Volunteer Service Award at the White House (EEOB).

"ARLINGTON, Va. – An Air National Guard member was among seven servicemembers who received USA Freedom Corps President's Volunteer Service Awards through the Military Volunteer Recognition Initiative in a ceremony at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building May 16.
Master Sgt. Tammy Caban, assigned to the National Guard Bureau in Arlington, Va., has volunteered with the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) since 2004, providing grief assistance to families who have lost a loved one serving the military. She also volunteers to help patients at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington."
