"I had been told how wonderful you were from other's who had heard you, but you exceeded my expectations! Your story was emotional, and inspiring.  Although, I have never suffered from PTSD, you made it understandable and relatable in a way I never thought possible.  Thank you again for your service and bravery, not only during the tragedy of 9/11, but before, and afterward by telling your story and helping others heal. I only wish we'd had a longer segment to hear more!"

"Samantha recently spoke at our Hometown Heroes Banquet and was a huge hit! She spoke about service in the community – specifically about those heroes who never ask for recognition but deserve so much of it – from police and fire to public works and medical and education professionals. Samantha’s presentation was eye-opening, especially regarding those we typically don’t recognize as “first responders” but who deal with emergencies and impact our lives on a daily basis. Most recognize Samantha as a hero herself so her insight was both motivational and inspirational. This was the second time she’s spoken at an event for us and I’d recommend her as a speaker for any organization at any event."
