Woman Gains Silver Star -- And Removal From Combat

[Tom Earp]

WOW, a woman really did that!

One never knows what one will do in situations like this and she was a very staunch and proud woman who was worried more about he safety of her commrads than her own!

She deserves a lot of credit!

She was probly scared S**tless but did what she was trained for and a damn great job!

A bit ago, the history channel had a show on/about the A-10.
They showed one that looked like a flying junk yard.
In an interview with the squadrons senior maintenance chef (a male lifer of an NCO), he said that the pilot was the only one in the entire squadron would could have brought the plane back.

Not seeing the connection except for women in the military doing the brave things that they're expected to do as part of their jobs.

Perhaps that is the connection-I am agreeing with you, not fighting with you
Odd thing, if one reads both stories, is how the pilot received the DFC and was NOT removed from combat.
