Cheryl Harris is a beautiful, intelligent determined woman. I met her for the first time the evening before the hearings. I had quite a bit of anxiety about meeting the Mother’s of these Solders, but Cheryl quickly put me at ease and was genuinely grateful for my testimony. Her determination and unwavering commitment to get answers and accountability is truly commendable.

Cheryl was the first to testify. Her heartfelt testimony tugged at the heartstrings of even the most hardened in the room. And again, I choked back the tears. Cheryl’s testimony is below.
