Over a dozen soldiers currently stationed in Kuwait recently shaved their heads in support of a fellow serviceman’s sister, who lost her hair during her battle with brain cancer.

Sgt. Brandon Stafford’s older sister, Melissa Hjelle, who works as a traffic safety program coordinator in Minnesota, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in her right temporal lobe in late 2020.
