MSNBC - Chopper pilot recalled as a super-achiever

I don't know about you, but it's hard for me to take much more of this. Must we endure losing special people like Kimberly Hampton? Looking at Kimberly's face makes me want to pull back our troops.

Kimberly Hampton, I salute you! Your beautiful smile tells the whole story.

"As the U.S. workforce ages and the economy grows, there will be many good jobs in many industries. Who will land these jobs? Not the millions of American students who graduate from high school without basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills," the report states.
