Congratulations to her for being awarded it and you for raising her! I did JROTC and it was really great in providing discipline and structure in a chaotic high school world. If she intends to join the military after high school, do your best to convince her to get a degree and commission first.

 

Now that is something worth posting! Congratulations to her.

 

Well done! Cool medal too!

 

I love that medal and the men who inspired it. Congratulations to your daughter and it must have been a true honor to have one of the last surviving members of the group to present it to her...I'll bet she was thrilled.

 

Thank's all!Absolutely law school first and then commissioned officer.

 

Congrats to your Daughter ! Cool medal too . I thought it ended (segregation in the armed forces after WWII , didn't know it went on to '49 .

 

Harry (Truman) was instrumental........
