  1. She was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor? In what armed conflict did she participate in to receive the highest honor bestowed on a member of the military?

    • I was thinking the same thing. I think Scottie Thomas may have made a mistake.g

      • Yeah,right wraith. A real nooker,boo,boo,geez. Hers likely is a community service award which is good as well.
        Hey,however something tells me community service,you know like “organizing” gets some people pretty far up the political ladder,so to speak.

        Some of your locals should be considered for a bronze just for being exposed to political fire. Maybe one for some local media there,for providing sustained covering fire.

  3. I commend her on a job well done under horrible circumstances. The article is incomplete as it fails to give an accounting on the current fund.
    A heartfelt thanks from this Knight Twp. family that appreciates whatever you’ve accomplished thus far (hard to know w/o current figures)and REALLY misses our vouounteer fire dept. & county residence status. The city doesn’t clean the roads – especially the intersections- like the county does.
