Life of a Lioness - The story of Cpl. Jennifer Marie Parcell
Loading...
Uploaded by marines on Jun 17, 2011
The ratifications of the 19th Amendment and Title IX have given American women opportunities they never had before modern times. There is one policy, however, that keeps our women in uniform from holding jobs involving direct combat. It's called the Combat Exclusion Law. Sgt. Todd Hunter shares an intimate story on how today's battlefield doesn't always cater to the law.

What an amazing Marine.

Five years ago today. I'll never forget sitting in that chapel on Okinawa for her memorial.

And may God rest her soul

If woman wanna serve as soldiers,(Including roles of front line combat) I dont so why not. Didn't the Russians and Chinese have women solider roles since ww2. Personally, I know this might sound weird, But I think its hot
-
i still get sad when i think about her. SHE WAS MY BIGGEST FAN.
'WORK HARDER GARNER(newly LCpl at the time) YOU'LL PICK UP RANK AND ONE DAY YOU CAN BE THE BOSS TIL THEN GET OUT MY FACE!" alway followed by a LOL!

She was attached to my unit while we were in Iraq. I was a Navy Corpsman and she was my first casualty that ran to after the suicide bomber. I never forget what i told her while trying to help her and feel that I let her down. I still remember her face and wish there was more I could do to save her. God bless her and her family.

I feel so ashamed as a man and an ex marine that I am safe at home right now while young people half my age are in the line of fire.

I had goosebumps all over.

Not all women can face the rigors of combat successfully ,same with men.When this law is retrieved then the most capable of women will serve in combat roles and will be darn good at it . Cpl Parcell was a true Hero , a Marine through and through and she will never be forgotten

I knew Cpl Parcell, she was attached to my unit in Iraq as a lioness when she was killed in the suicide blast which also took the life of our SgtMaj and one of our interpreters. The blast also killed an Iraqi Police Officer and one civilian. I spoke with her almost every day she was with us in the course of our duties. She was a good Marine and everyone enjoyed working with her. Her loss was a blow to the unit. In my opinion her efforts contributed to the success of our mission.
