When she noticed a stranger among the crowd that came out to support her along the four-day trek, Guerrero introduced herself — and quickly realized the woman was the most important person there.

What a great way to honor her fallen sisters in combat in Iraq. I hope this story hits the National level to give her and the fallen Female Marine heroes the recognition they deserve.

Now THIS is the kind of story people should point to, when discussing whether or not women can serve in combat. Naysayers....hide.
