As the month of March moves along, the U.S. Army continues to celebrate Women’s History. Women are represented in every aspect of the Army-past, present and future. They serve in many capacities; from the National Guard and Reserves to Four-Star General. Check out this week’s photo slide show of “Women in Today’s Army.”
Sgt. Karli Wahkahquah, 1st Lt. Kristin Sloan and 1st Lt. Jessica duMonceaux, all members of the Oklahoma Army National Guard, proudly show off their dainty, powder blue Thunderbirds — symbolic of the parent 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team under which they serve.

March is the best month ever. Women everywhere get recognized even more, especially the ones in the Military. Hooah!
I think this is a great article highlighting some of the accomplishments of women in the military.
However, I have a big issue with the photo of General Dunwoody at the end of the article. Basic, basic, basic weapons safety is never pointing a firearm at anything you don’t intend to shoot. Yet General Dunwoody’s rifle is pointed right at the photographer. I think this sets a bad example.
