Considering how patriotic everyone on this board is, I wanted to share a small story as we get closer to the 4th of July.
An amazing woman died at the age of 94, 2 weeks ago, after surviving WWII, the Battan death march, a POW for 2 years and Korea. She was the first Woman Colonel in the Army and still, to date, the most decorated woman in the history of the United States Army.
A strong and dedicated woman. She will be buried with full military honors at Arlington National Ceremony on July 2nd. I have attached one of the many articles that came out upon the announcement of her death.
I am proud to say that she was my Aunt, and a big part of my life.
I don't want to get sappy, but as we get closer to the 4th, I figured this was something that everyone could appreciate.
