Congratulations SGT Leigh Ann Hester
SGT Leigh Ann Hester, a military police soldier and Kentucky National Guard member, became the first woman since WWII to win the Silver Star.
She won it for her courage, leadership, decisiveness, quick thinking, and aggressiveness at this action at Salman Pak.
My comments on the action here.
Well done, sergeant! And a well-earned medal.
Without taking anything away from SGT Hester's accomplishment, though, I think it's safe to say that the Army's chock full of soldiers like her - both men and women.
I'm so very proud to be a member of this Army.
