First Woman ever to get Silver Star for close combat

Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester given Silver Star for close combat during ambush by insurgents. Read this story and think about another American soldier doing the kind of job American soldiers are justly famous for.

Sgt. Hester is age 23, the floor manager at a Kentucky shoe store. She is also a member of the 617th Military Police Company, Kentucky Army National Guard.
