It is not many jobs, if any, that a man can do that a woman cannot do. Sometimes women doesn't receive the recognition and credit they deserve. Many have served their county with great honor.
Margaret A. Brewer (1930- )
The first women to achieve the rank of brigadier general in the US Marine Corps.
Kara S. Hultgreen (1965-1994)
The first of the two female combat jet pilots in the United States and the first female naval carrier-based fighter pilot.
Margarethe Cammermeyer (1942- )
A Norway native became a highly decorated Army nurse and sued the military as a result of being discharged for acknowledging that she was homosexual.
Elyse Mitchell (1919-1945)
The first known woman to die on US soil during World War II from an enemy bomb.
Is this a big misrepresentation of women in regard to the military?
Still some historians believe the old perception, that women affiliated with the military were prostitutes or women of a low reputation. And these old perceptions continued to haunt women in the today's military.
Sherian Cadorio (1940- )
As of 1990, she was the highest-ranking African-American woman in the military.
Florence Blanchfield (1882-1971)
The first woman commissioned in the US Army in 1947.
Marie Rossi (1969-1991)
One of the first women to fly a chinook helicopter in a combat zone during the Persian Gulf War.
Loretta Walsh (1898-1925)
First woman to enlist in the US Navy on 22 March 1917.

ReplyDeleteWhy Did Jesus Fold the Napkin?
ReplyDeleteWhy Did Jesus Fold the Napkin?
Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I
Never noticed this....
The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed
Over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave
Clothes.
The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly
Folded, and was placed at the head of that stony coffin.
Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to
the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the
Entrance.
She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom
Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the
tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!'
Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see. The other
disciple outran Peter and got there first. He stooped and looked in
And saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in.
Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside.. He also noticed the linen
Wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head
Was folded up and lying to the side.
Was that important? Absolutely!
Is it really significant? Yes!
In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have
to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day.
The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and
Every Jewish boy knew this tradition.
When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure
that it was exactly the way the master wanted it.
The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait,
Just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the
Servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished.
Now if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe
his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that
napkin and toss it onto the table.
The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the
wadded napkin meant, 'I'm done'.
But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and
Laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table,
Because..........
The folded napkin meant, 'I'm coming back!'
He is Coming Back!! Be Blessed
It's still a man's world unfortunately. There isn't anything a woman can't do if she puts her mind to it, she'd better not expect recognition though eh?
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter.
Nothing against Margaret A. Brewer but how many troops did she lead? What battles did she fight in? I guess someone who has never seen combat is technically qualified to lead troops but that's kind of like your sales manager telling you how to sell something when he used to be an administrator.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of that saying -Fred Astaire was a great dancer and very famous, yet Ginger Rogers was also there doing it backwards and in high heels and still looking graceful.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same with most things even if a female works she is the one expected to still run the house, and look after the children if they are ill during school time, so a boss is less likely to promote a woman. Society in general needs to value women.
