Opis

Throughout history, from both societal and historical standpoints, society celebrated the martial capabilities of men, not women's. Though rarely acknowledge from the dawn of man's history, women have demonstrated a prowess in taking arms. In today's America's armed forces, there are 241,098 women in uniform. Speaking of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Dr. John Nagl, president of the military research institution Center for a New American Security, said, "We literally could have not fought this war without women." Nowhere are women more vital than in their participation as citizen airmen in the Air National Guard. This is their story!
