    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.
