Joel served proudly in the United States Navy, wearing his dress whites and medals with honor. His service to our country represents the same courage and determination that defines the Byrd family.
Joel's journey inspired Valencia to create Byrd's Nest — a place where women can find hope, transform their lives, and reunite with their families. His story is a testament to the power of second chances and the strength of family bonds.
"Joel's journey showed me that everyone deserves a second chance. His story guides us as we help others learn to fly again."
