One of the women (Krista) is a friend of mine IRL and she is just so wonderful inside and out. I've known her since middle school and I'm so proud of all she's accomplished. If the other women are anything like her then they all must be super stars!

That is amazing to see four women in these positions!

"You don't get to be off duty when you are serving." Amen, ma'am. Amen.

As a soldier and scholar, I couldn't be prouder of these young service members! Army Strong!
