She was a Lt Col BEFORE she started to run for the US Senate.

Could be her battalion was attached to the 41st Brigade for deployment during OIF. It is a combat support battalion.

No doubt Obama will be issuing orders for her to report for duty in Iraq before January.

My pleasure, octex!

It’s very uplifting, and beautifully illustrates why American Exceptionalism remains a reality.

I don’t want to seem rude, but your post was kinda in the Captain Obvious territory considering my service and connections in that Brigade.

I had a couple good friends get killed and wounded around that time period. (Sgt Justin Eyerly KIA, SPC Nathan Melton WIA) that were in 41st Brigade attached to 1st Cav. Hence my curiosity.

Anyone know her rank? Looks like Major. Regardless, I salute this patriot and Iowa for electing her!!!

Per the article, she's a Lt Col and it sure looks like silver oak leafs on her collar....
