Narrator: Judith Mente Interviewer: Kyle Schneider KS: So, do you think your role as a woman changed as you were in the military or... JM:...Because I was in the military? KS: Yea... JM: Absolutely. I think that I'm much more independent. And I always have been in my WHOLE life. I've always known when to say, "yes sir", and when not to. And I think that's very important, because there are times...when one just needs to say "yes sir" or "no sir" and go on. And I think that was a real learning experience, and I think that it's a valuable experience. Photos courtesy of the families. |
