A 2007 Brockport High School
graduate was recognized by President Obama during a speech he made in
Japan this past May. Captain Tessa Snow, a Marine Corps pilot, flew
missions to bring humanitarian aid and supplies to those in need
following a series of deadly earthquakes in Kumamoto, Japan in April.
According
to a news report by News 10 NBC, the president spoke to Snow, told her
he was proud of her and shook her hand. During the interview with News
10, the 27-year-old credits the Brockport community for inspiring her to
join the service.
"The tight-knit community of Brockport, and
Rochester for that matter, probably led me to seek that out again in the
Marine Corps," said Snow.
