"I was totally surprised when my daughter Lynne announced she was joining the Navy. Thanks to the Lincoln Foundation Scholars Program, Lynne was exposed to different cultures, places, and people outside her neighborhood. This encouraged her to want to travel and see the world as well as pursue an education while serving her country."
