    What a fine example of a hero in my eyes.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    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.

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