The convention, which takes place over four days this week, will officially nominate President Donald Trump for reelection. Sr. Deirdre \u201cDede\u201d Byrne, POSC, was announced as a speaker by the Trump campaign on Sunday, and she has one of the most unique resumes of any speaker to address the convention. A retired colonel in the U.S. Army and a member of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Byrne has served overseas as a soldier and a missionary. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sr. Deirdre \u201cDede\u201d Byrne, POSC.
