These 6 women earned the Silver Star for valor in war

While World War I saw three women receive the Distinguished Service Cross and three more receive the forerunner to the Silver Star, it isn’t the only conflict since 1900 where American servicewomen have been decorated for valor.

Six women earned the Silver Star for valor for actions since “The War to End All Wars.”

1-4. Ellen Ainsworth, Mary Roberts, Elaine Roe, and Rita Rourke

These four women received the Silver Star for their actions on Feb. 10, 1944, during the Anzio campaign. A battle many see as a monumental mess for the allies.

If they were gay or trannie, they could have bases, streets on bases, buildings, ships, etc. named after them. :whistle:

For those who don't know,the Silver Star is a SERIOUS hero badge,and the US Army doesn't pass them out lightly. In fact,there are many US Generals who don't even have one,and every damn one of them is politically connected.

Don't know what these ladies did,but I can assure you it was something truly special.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
