Sen. Duckworth on her family and military service

U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth just published a new memoir called “Every Day is a Gift.” The Illinois Democrat is one of just 17 Asian Americans in Congress. She’s a Purple Heart recipient who became a double amputee as a result of her military service. And she’s a mom - she was actually the first Senator to have a baby while in office.
