NICHOLE GREEN, L.P.N., LD-ACU
UF Health Heart & Vascular Hospital

Bruce Bryant is a veteran and was on active duty (1982-86) in the U.S. Air Force for four years before serving in the U.S. Air Force Reserve (1986-2005) for nine additional years. This Veterans Day, Bryant proudly is honoring his daughter, Nichole Green, L.P.N., LD-ACU, whom he admits is “an amazing young lady.” Green works at the UF Health Heart & Vascular Hospital outpatient practice.

Was she called into combat? Yes, in 2015: Bagram AB, Afghanistan

What do you remember most about her and her service: She was always ready to serve and go to where called at a moment’s notice. She has such pride in her job and duty. There is even an article written about Nichole in a reserve publication and it called her “The Heart of Readiness.”
