West Point honors Army captain for actions in Afghanistan
By Melissa Leon | Fox News
Capt. Lindsay Gordon Heisler’s military career started with soccer.
Growing up in Houston in a big sports family, Heisler focused on playing soccer in high school. Her grandfather served in the military and retired as a major general, but neither of her parents were in the military.
It wasn't until after Heisler received an email from a West Point coach inviting her to a recruiting visit at the Military Academy in New York that joining the Army became an option she couldn't pass up. It also became a decision that ultimately led her to being recognized by her alma mater for heroic actions -- she says she was just following her training -- while in Afghanistan as an Apache helicopter pilot in 2015.
