Airman 1st Class Katherine Walters Honor Guard “My role model is my younger sister, Diana. Growing up, I always had to be very mindful of the decisions I made because I wanted to set a positive example for her. Despite being one of the more influential people in her life, I noticed qualities in her that I aspired to have or practice in my own life. I have always admired her perseverance, her intelligence, and her care-free attitude. To this day, she still encourages me to be the best in everything I set my mind to, and for that I am forever grateful.”
