‘Not disabilities but different abilities’
U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Brandon Sokora, 100th Civil Engineer Squadron commander, shares his story of how he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in September 2011, and how his youngest daughter was born a congenital amputee at a lunch celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month Oct. 7, 2016, on RAF Mildenhall, England. Although he faced a medical evaluation board because of it, he fought and proved he was still capable of serving the U.S. Air Force to the best of his ability and leading as a commander.
