 Hey team, as we wrap up Women's History Month, I want to take some time to pay homage to the hard work of women past and present who have dedicated their lives to trailblazing a new and better path for female soldiers in the Army. From the distant roots of women supporting the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War to the female warriors currently deployed in gender-integrated combat arms units across the world, we have come a long way. I am honored and proud to be part of this legacy and to serve as a member of the first female command team in the storied history of the 377th Theater Sustainment Command. The strength of the Army comes from its diversity and through our pursuit of both a qualified and representative military, we will ensure that our nation as a whole continues to remain strong. The female pioneers too many to count, establishing the foundation for our present, we as a fighting force need to look towards our future, a time when soldiers both male and female focus only on an individual's ability to contribute to mission success and forgo the antiquated reservations about women's role in the military that still persists today. I'm confident that we will get there as an Army. Everything I've seen in my time as a deputy commanding general leads me to believe we are ready for that future. As our ongoing battle against COVID-19 continues alongside a bevy of domestic and international missions, it's essential that we as a force take a brief step back to show our appreciation for the women who have overcome so much to be a part of this great team. I am proud of them. I am proud to serve them and I am proud that one day the daughters of the future will have you to look up to and thank them. Can do.
