I was just telling my daughter they never had a woman blue angel and maybe she could do that someday. We live in Pensacola so we see them all the time and now she will really be inspired. Now she will know it is possible. I didn’t know about this until just now.

I'm so proud. I'm part of the generation for whom these opportunities did not exist for women - you're blazing a very important trail, Lt. Lee! God bless you, and God bless America! Excited to see you this weekend in Wichita at McConnell AFB! :D

Congratulations!! I’ve seen Blue Angels perform in multiple times in Chicago, once near Phoenix. The best was at Bloomington, IL small airport. They were extremely friendly. After their outstanding performance, the Air Force Thunderbird were passing through from Rockford and did two flyovers. Very memorable day.

Why is this story so under-liked 😮 I can't believe you people. Listen: If there is ever a more qualified female for POTUS 2040... Lmk. Keep it up, ma'am! I wish your show here in Wichita hadn't been cancelled August 25 2024
