Description

Like many Americans, Kacey Hawley Whisler’s life path changed on Sept. 11, 2001, a day thousands died in terrorist attacks in several U.S. locations. At that time, Whisler was a nursing student at Gardner-Webb University, and she vividly remembers grieving with her fellow students on campus. “That day changed each of us,” she recollects. “I felt a calling to serve our great country and be part of something bigger than myself.”
