Comments on: Top Ten Women Who Inspired in 2008 http://northshorejournal.org/top-ten-women-who-inspired-in-2008 An on-line magazine supporting the Ninth Amendment Fri, 25 May 2012 21:30:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Robbie http://northshorejournal.org/top-ten-women-who-inspired-in-2008/comment-page-1#comment-16030 Robbie Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:04:21 +0000 http://northshorejournal.org/?p=9693#comment-16030 As a a former Combat Medic who had the honor of serving with some of the bravest and most capable female warriors on the planet, I'm appreciative of your list --- especially the decorated Combat Medics! But I'd be remiss if I didn't point out anoter female Warrior who should be near the top of this list: Gen. Ann Dunwoody, who in November became the first female four star general in the United States Military. I would also include Tech. Sgt. Jackie L. Larsen, 37, of Tacoma, WA, who was officially the 100th female soldier killed in Iraq (July, 2008). To me she represents what Stephen Ambrose wrote that “the greatest casualty of war is the death of what might have been.” I think that especially true when I remember these ladies.
