What a fine example of a hero in my eyes.

Ironic, since Congress was floating a bill to bar women from combat zones. She definitely did her part for her unit and the convoy!

60 Minutes did an interview with this gal tonight.

Wow, a stronger story even now.:)

I was puzzled to see that two of the men she helped that day did not give an interview and were critical of her 'winning' the award.

That is so awesome! Good for her. Thanks for the great article!!

Yes we saw this. What an intelligent and brave young woman, only 18 years old. Blessings to her and her grandma.
