Player Bio

Airman First Class Shortall was stationed at Minot AFB, North Dakota as a nuclear MP, which meant she would protect nuclear weapons while maintenance would come in to fix what was needed on the nuclear weapon. After working at Minot AFB for about a year and a half the military transferred her to Dover AFB, DE, where she worked the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Gate. Her responsibilities at CVI included, but not limited to inspecting vehicles for bombs, weapons, and any illegal substance. She would than eventually be re-tasked to help and assist with dignified transfers, which was where she would help to insure the safe and respectful transfer and movement of service members who have passed away over sea and were being brought home.

What the Warriors means to them

The Flyers Warriors is an amazing program for disabled veterans. Not only has this team taught me a huge sense of camaraderie but they also showed me what a second family can really mean. Playing with the team is fantastic, but what goes on behind the scene is even better. The team also provides help to fellow veterans, for example: they provide therapy for a veteran in need or help with some cost of schooling. Not only am I proud to call the Philadelphia Flyers Warriors my team, I'm also honored to call them my family.”
