Frances Rice’s great-great-grandparents were slaves.  She spent her formative years in poverty in the segregated South during the 1940′s, 1950′s and 1960′s. Over the years Frances pulled herself out of poverty.  She joined the Army in 1964 as a Private and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after 20 years of active service.
