From depression, suicidal thoughts to retired chief

Chief Master Sgt. Kathy Cooper, Band of Mid-America flutist, receives her retirement pin from the doctor who encouraged her to join the Air Force 27 years ago, despite other doctors telling her she could not handle it because of depression and suicidal thoughts. Cooper now plans on finishing her Master of Arts in Biblical Theology and becoming a missionary. (Courtesy photo)
