In this special Veterans Day episode, Assistant Attorney General Tessa Ortiz-Marsh shares her story of military service and how it relates to the practice of public law.
In 2006, she was deployed to Baghdad where she served the first of two tours as a combat medic in the U.S. Army.
"That's where I learned to love people," says Ortiz-Marsh, who now practices law in the Tennessee Attorney General's Office.
"I grew up with farms and cows. The next thing I knew at nineteen I was across the world experiencing new food, culture, languages and religions."
