The 17-year-old daughter of a soldier who sustained burns over 38 percent of his body in a 2007 roadside bomb attack has been recognized for her efforts to help her family while her dad recovered from his injuries. Brittany Wallace of San Antonio was selected by the Texas chapter of Operation Homefront, the national non-profit organization dedicated to helping families of deployed troops. While her mother was in San Antonio helping care for her hospitalized father, Brittany remained at the family home in North Carolina and took care of her two younger siblings. "Other family members were there for us and were very helpful, but they didn’t really know our routine," she said. "It was up to me to keep that routine for them." Brittany will receive $5,000 and a laptop computer as a reward in an April 29 ceremony in Washington, D.C.
