As we prepare for Thanksgiving travel, family get-togethers, and lavish turkey dinners this week, one Arkansas police officer shares her story of adversity, resiliency, courage, and thankfulness during this holiday week.

Officer Samantha Hodgson, currently an SRO in Bryant, Arkansas, recounts how a "routine" welfare check in 2019 changed the trajectory of her life.

After being shot in the head, face and shoulder outside the home of a man, thought to be suicidal, on December 23rd, 2019, Hodgson details her recovery process, struggles, and determination as she continues to live out her dream of being a member of law enforcement.
