The United States has become a nation of female achievers. The next frontier is for women to start flying past the hurdles to equal leadership in our nation.

Her husband, who served for 26 years in the Air Force, helped do the honors at yesterday's emotional ceremony in Washingot, D.C. To see the historic moment and hear what she had to say about the letters and emails she has received from military men and women throughout the world, click here.
