A soldier in the Maryland National Guard received a Christmas morning telephone call from President Obama expressing his gratitude — and that of the American people — for her service.
Sgt. Samantha Sherrill, an air traffic controller with 29th Combat Aviation Brigade and a Randallstown native, received the call after she and her fellow members of the 29th's F Company, 1st Battalion 111th General Support Aviation Battalion, flew to Kuwait on the last aircraft out of Iraq in support of operations.
