Description

KBR presents an evening with U.S Senate Candidate Marjorie K. Eastman. Marjorie K. Eastman is a veteran who served two combat tours, an independent award-winning author and entrepreneur, a military spouse and mother. After the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Marjorie enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve, serving for ten years as an intelligence officer and commander. Her ten years of post-9/11 military service include two combat deployments, one in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the other in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. She started out enlisted and received the rare honor of being awarded a direct commission within her first two years of service. Her final duty was to lead more than one hundred soldiers in Afghanistan in the successful completion of their mission, and safely return them home. She was ranked the #1 Military Intelligence Company Commander in Eastern Afghanistan for the deployment cycle of 2009-2010, awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious service as a combat commander and received the Combat Action Badge. Marjorie’s biggest battle actually took place when she became a mother to her son, Henk. At 6-months-old he was diagnosed with a type of infant cancer called Neuroblastoma. Marjorie and her husband, Charles, anchored down in their faith during this difficult time, and the greatest blessing of their life were the sweet words, “clear margins.” Henk remains cancer free and a cancer survivor today! Marjorie drew from her time in the military to survive that crucible in her life, and started to write. Marjorie published her work and was recognized in 2017 as the award-winning author of a National Independent Publisher Book Award (IPPY) for The Frontline Generation: How We Served Post 9/11. The book began as a personal memoir for her son and became the first to define post 9/11 service and leadership. It was a featured title for Hudson Booksellers in airports across the U.S. (2016-2017) and is on the recommended reading list for the U.S. Army Military Intelligence Center of Excellence library and museum. This is only the tip of the iceberg for Marjorie's background. Join us January 26th as we dive in deeper with one of North Carolina's U.S. Senate Candidates. *PAID FOR BY MARJORIE K.
