I had the opportunity to go TDY to Fort Lee, Virginia for the opening of the US Army Women's Museum's "Kevlar and Crowns" exhibit.  What a pleasure it was to meet 4 of the other subjects of this story of "Soldier Beauty Queens".  Robynne Dexter, archivist for the museum, was the master mind behind the exhibit - she did a phenomenal job of capturing us as we really are: American Soldiers who are complicated women.  I could not be more proud than to be a part of this exhibit with these incredible women!
