Former Female Member of the 9th Regiment Awarded the Bronze Star in Iraq.

wh_10.jpgIt isn’t uncommon for someone to join the New York Guard and then afterwards enlist in the National Guard or the Army Reserve. Every once in a while however, you get a shining star. The Ninth Regiment was honored to have her for a while and then she left us for the ROTC program where she became a 2LT in the Army (active). After serving in Korea and being promoted to 1LT She had been sent to Iraq to lead a transportation company. She recently rotated home and was just awarded the Bronze Star for Bravery in Combat.

We are glad that she is safe, and we are very proud of her.
