Hehehehehe! Check out my new tag line.

Hi Sam, I'm doing great. Good to see you my friend.

[SAMWolf]

Glad to hear you're having a good weekend.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, I love your tagline, Jen.

I posted this song on my profile page, I really like it. (Mine has a better sound though, LOL)

[Victoria Delsoul]

It's always good when you're around.

[Valin]

And people say I have a dirty mind! :-)

[SAMWolf]

Awww! Thanks.

I don't acknowledge any sports figure as significant.

My stepson is a USNA graduate Class of '94. His then-fiance split their convoy and she went Army and married Army.

She ran bomb dogs in Europe, now on leave having just given birth; will return to the dogs, which theater not known.

During times of international tension then-Secretary of State Madeliene Albright would request her dog.

No, this is not a drill, an Onion spoof, or an SNL bit.

Women are active in all branches of our military, performing vital service and acts of heroism 24/7.

I can think of no more fitting end to Saddam and Osama's son Sad than in the sights of a woman.

Godspeed Swift Victory and Safe Return to the Finest Fighting Force on Earth

God Bless Our Troops, Our Veterans and their Families

SADDAM-FREE in '03

Osama's son Sad sez: Iran but I could not hide. . . .

[Victoria Delsoul]

I've just noticed this post, LOL!

SADDAM-FREE in '03
From your lips to Gods ear!

Evening GailA. Good graphic as Iraqs time is running out.

[Jen]

That's a 'beautiful' song!

[Jen]

I love that eagle sharpening his talons. Thanks Gail for the daily graphics.

I sure like the thought of that!

Greetings SAMWolf, AntiJen, Foxhole FReepers, et al:

Thanks for featuring a few of American’s female defenders of freedom. In my Desert Storm deployed unit, our sisters bearing arms were highly qualified and mission essential.

It‘s a shame one particular over achiever cannot yet be recognized. She’s a fellow battle-rostered Desert Storm plankowner and a SNCO service academy classmate of mine. This real life "GI Jane," was fully qualified for every mission specialty of our unit. Following Desert Storm, our "GI Jane" continued to influence, enhance, and improve upon this multi-faceted unit’s methods, as she rose through the enlisted ranks.

Ten years after Desert Storm, our modern "minutegal, GI Jane," returned to duty. In those troubling days after the horrific 9-11 attack, "GI Jane's" wisdom played a key homeland security coordination role for Operation Noble Eagle.

It would be really cool to post some photos of "GI Jane" in action, but we can’t even post "GI Jane" in ghatra and throbe. Those of us who know "her-story," know who this "GI Jane" is. Our real "GI Jane" is no fictional Demi Moore Hollywood character, just an ordinary citizen-soldier, who lives with honor, respect, and a devotion to duty.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks for honoring her here, OneLoyalAmerican. We appreciate her service even if she has to remain "GI Jane Doe".

Women have come a long way in the roles they fill in the military since I was in.

True, but it started while you were in. Leslie Kennie, Joe Peterson (First black USAF Thunderbird) and I all graduated from the same University and were comissioned together in 1971.

I have a yearbook picture of the three of us. One day I'll scan it and send it to you.

[SAMWolf]

What was her MOS in 71?
