Women in the military have only just begun to join combat jobs, but their influence on military service has been felt for decades. Some of their contributions changed the way we treat our veterans or even changed the way we live our lifes. They all advanced the cause for women becoming equal partners in service to their country. Here are the stories of six of these female military pioneers:
@SMSgt Minister Gerald A. Thomas , Capt Christopher Mueller , CPT (Join to see) , COL Mikel J. Burroughs , Sgt Joe LaBranche , SSgt (Join to see), TSgt Hunter Logan Capt Seid Waddell SrA Christopher Wright LTC Stephen F. PO2 Ed C. PO2 Mark Saffell MSG Tom Earley PVT James Strait Alan K. @po1 william "chip" PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Maj Kim Patterson @SGT John McConnell SGT John " Mac " McConnell

This is both a great story but misleading... Though MPs are considered support female MPs were in the same firefights as everyone else, outside the safety of the wire performing combat related missions

Thanks for sharing the information SP5 Mark Kuzinski
I was well aware of Dr. Mary E. Walker, First Female POW and Only Female Medal of Honor Recipient and Admiral Grace Hopper – U.S. Navy, Creator of Modern Life aka COBOL. The other names were not as familiar to me.

Here's a page with dozens of female military pioneers most of us have never heard of, including the members of the Soviet "Night Witches" squadron, many of whom flew hundreds of combat missions in obsolete aircraft. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/ [login to see] 71143990/ as well as one more with a woman I wouldn't want to fly against -- the White Rose of Stalingrad. http://www.badassoftheweek.com/litvyak.html
WW2 is my particular area of interest, and the reason most of the women I've listed here are Soviets is because they were the only ones in that war willing to unleash the anger of their women on the enemy.
