This photo is so strong in many ways. Proud Service members, as all who served. Taking charge of the situation and getting on with it. I haven't seen many photos of the female service member amputees. Yet I know personally a few my self. All have earned the right to be recognized. Don't you agree?

I worked with a female Capt that was in Khobar Towers. The room she was in was on the opposit side of the building so the glass imploded. She was shredded but survived. She'd had reconstructive surgery and a glass eye. They worked on a medical retirement but she fought, successfully, to remain active duty. She was a high caliber woman. I often thought, how would I handle that? I suspect not as well as she did. Coming from a family of strong women I really wasn't surprised by her example. Anyone that dismisses the value of women in the service just haven't had their eyes open to all they bring to the table. When I sit back and appreciate what the military does for me and my family it's completely gender neutral... thanks to all the ladies that have and continue to serve.
