Inspired by The New Agenda to acknowledge Black History Month for Black Women’s achievements, it’s like Whoa!, why does awesomeness of women of color have anything to do with it? I would love this lady to be an inspiration to women of ALL colors! Meet Vernice:
Vernice Armour (born 1973) is a former Captain in the United States Marine Corps who was the first African-American female naval aviator in the Marine Corps and America’s first African American female combat pilot in the United States military.[1] She flew the AH-1W SuperCobra attack helicopter in the 2003 invasion of Iraq and eventually served two tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

To quote the Temptations, “The girl’s all right with me!”
Her wiki bio included a season with a ladies professional football team as a running back! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernice_Armour
Very inspirational…thanks for sharing.
BTW…I love the new look. Word is that the current trend is to copy your banner into your background, but I like the pure white with the cherry blossoms. It looks great!
Thanks MRose! My header is that of a magnolia tree, and I hope it’s this one:

She’s got quite a history 🙂
Maybe teachers can pay her to speak to their students instead of paying union dues 🙂
