Nicole Hockley and the families of eight other Sandy Hook school shooting victims have spent the last seven years fighting a battle no one thought they would win.
On Tuesday, they agreed to a $73 million settlement of a lawsuit against gunmaker Remington.
The agreement requires Remington to release internal documents, showing how it marketed the Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle used in the massacre.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
