Sergeant Linda Pierre
After meeting on a flight out of Atlanta, ACE National’s Executive Director, Angelina Spencer, befriended a soldier serving in Afghanistan: Sergeant Linda Pierre.  Because of that chance encounter, ACE National’s members, under the guidance of Sergeant Pierre, were soon sending care packages to soldiers serving in Afghanistan.  Tragically, though, Sergeant Pierre was killed recently in the line of duty.  In her own words, Angelina Spencer discusses what made Linda—and their relationship—so special.
