Dona Marie White, if you read this, I thank you for your service to this country. I am glad there are people like you willing to serve this country. Without the tax payers there is no military. Without people like you working in the back ground there is no Infantry. Again, thank you for your service.
Nothing says that she is a disabled Veteran, she earned the right to be nominated in here just like you or I. I have been deployed, and no they wouldn’t give me 100%.
Another thing, just cause your in the Airforce doesn’t mean everyone has been in a plane. Just like the army, not all have seen combat and probably less than half have carried weapons.
They mis-spelled it. Meant “Personnel” she worked at the customer base personnel office. The place you go for new ID’s, records, reenlistment that sort of stuff.
What is a personal craftsman??
You never mentioned if she was involved in any form of combat!!The air force high up general never flew in a plane,female!.Give her 100% disability!!!!HA HA!!! What a croc!!
