This week we’re joined by Coast Guard Veteran, Dr. Cynthia M. Morris.
Dr. Morris enlisted in the USCG in 1977 after leaving college as a Pre-Med major.
She served 20 years and received several awards along the way, including one that granted her the opportunity to meet Civil Rights Activist- Rosa Parks.
Service in the U.S. Coast Guard proved to be one uphill battle after another. But Dr. Morris is a fighter! Not only did she learn to speak up for herself, but she also made the time to help out other Coasties who were lower in rank than she was. She ended up becoming the advocate that she needed.
She may be the first woman in her family to join a branch of the armed services, but she’s far from the last. Most of her children have either served in the military or been in R.O.T.C.
Dr. Morris does NOT believe in being idle. She is a retired Corpsman turned Health Services Technician who started her Coast Guard career as a Rescue Swimmer. She is also a licensed therapist and former social worker who is now pursuing a career as an electrician.
This lady is BUSY!!
