 The National Women's Hall of Fame inducted retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Carol Mudder Saturday, September 16th in Seneca Falls, New York. I'm being inducted along with nine other women who have also been selected for induction. What an honor to stand with these women who have accomplished so much. Mudder served in the Marine Corps for more than 31 years and achieved many firsts for women. She was the first women three star general, the first women qualified as a command center crew commander for the U.S. base command and the first women flag officer to command a major deployable tactical command. Anytime you're honored like this it's a responsibility as well. There's a responsibility to set a good example and to live up to the high standards of the people who selected me for the honor. Mudder now serves on the National Advisory Council of the Alliance for National Defense, the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation Board and as president of the Indiana War Memorials Commission. Thank you.
