You bring the lasso, I'll bring the truth

Shannon Hilburn has been a lot of things in her life. A friend, daughter, sister, soldier, mother, nanny, wife, surgical assistant, and super hero. She spent years helping a recently divorced woman raise her three boys. She gave those kids love, guidance, and most importantly, instilled her morals into them. She taught them that nothing was more important in this life than doing the right thing. She truly became their hero.

Eventually the kids got older and Shannon left for the army. To no ones surprise, her excellent leaderships skills got her the job of platoon leader. When it was time to get the crew ready for the day, she would do the iconic spin that Diana Prince would do when she transformed into Wonder Woman. It was her own way of motivating all her friends and reminding them that they could handle anything the army could throw at them.

Shannon applied all these same principles when she became a mother herself. She named her first born, Chandler, after the boys she took care of and their mother. She did this because she never stopped thinking of them. She changed their lives. This Wonder Woman tattoo on Shannon's leg is the absolute perfect representation of the kind of person she is.
