The Women in Iraq

Shortly after the first Silver Star was awarded to a female for duty since WWII, to National Guard Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester, an Insurgent attacked a convoy of soliders returning from their posts throughout Fallujah, killing 4 Marines, and seriously injurying 13. 3 killed and 11 injured were women.

There are no front lines in Iraq, and all those who are serving are strong. Our sincerest condolences.
