1st Female 4 Star General

General Ann Dunwoody was dubbed the title of 4 Star General a few days ago. In June she was nominated by President Bush to become the first female head of the U.S. Material Command. What that position means let alone entails I'm not quite sure but either way shes a 4 star general. She was confirmed in July, but didn't get the official nod until a few days ago. I would like to congratulate her not just on her promotion but also on the what she now symbolizes. For too long the military has been an all boys club. Over these last few weeks we have seen many barriers fallen and lets hope this isn't the last one to follow.
