Laura Ortiz served in the Army National Guard from 1993-2001 as a lab technician. Although she never deployed, Ortiz, 46, says her time in the Army taught her self-worth, the importance of working as a team and instilled in her a desire to make the most of every day. Raised by a single mother in various projects in New Jersey, she enlisted at 24 with the hopes of changing her circumstances, exploring her country and gaining life experience. Seven years after she re-entered civilian life, she lost her right leg below the knee in a hit-and-run motorcycle accident. She drew on the lessons and community she gained while in the service and, with her positivity and zest for life, began training as a Paralympic athlete, traveling the country to speak and represent women veterans and instructing as part of a Troops For Fitness initiative.
