Staff Sgt. Ashleigh Buch, an instructor with the 338th Combat Training Squadron admires her new paintings that she commissioned her friend Hannah German to create on Monday, April 3, 2017 at her apartment in Omaha. The left painting depicts the body of a woman blooming into a lily. “I’ve come so far. I started off as a very closed off shy person.
