Lieutenant Colonel Tammy Duckworth |
In November of 2004, while serving in Iraq, Lieutenant Colonel Tammy Duckworth's helicopter was shot down, leading to the loss of both her legs. She became the first American double amputee from the Iraq War. Following her military career, Duckworth worked for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and later made history as the first female veteran to serve in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. Her journey exemplifies resilience and a continued commitment to public service..

Lieutenant Ashley White Stumpf was a Cultural Support Team (CST) member in the United States Army. She served alongside special operations forces, working to bridge the gap between male soldiers and the local Afghan female population. Tragically, Lt. White Stumpf lost her life in Afghanistan in 2011 during a joint special operations mission.
Her contributions were significant in demonstrating the importance of integrating female soldiers into roles that allowed for more effective engagement with local populations in culturally sensitive environments. Lt. Ashley White Stumpf's story has been recognized and remembered for her dedication to her mission and the trail she blazed for women in the military.

SGT. Silverine Vineyard James |
Sargent Silverine Vineyard James played a big role in the integration of black women into the army. Sgt. James found herself being the first black girl in many spaces as she served. During the naming ceremony, Congressman Ben Cline (Virginia 6) acknowledged James' legacy as a civil rights pioneer, emphasizing her role in the movement toward integration during an era of racial segregation. Dr. Miguel LaPuz, Assistant Undersecretary for Health for Integrated Veteran Care at the Veterans Health Administration, also spoke. Letters from Virginia Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine were read, extending congratulations on James' extensive service to the nation.
