UNSUNG HEROES The Story of America’s Female Patriots

iranafghanistanWatch Unsung Heroes: The Story of America’s Female Patriots on PBS stations Thursday May 29 at 7-9 p.m. Mountain time.

More women serve in the armed forces than at any other time in our nation’s history. This courageous heritage can be traced back to the Revolution where women like Molly Pitcher and Sarah Shattuck donned men’s clothes and took up arms against the British. And though none had the right to vote, hundreds of women participated in the Civil War as nurses, spies, and soldiers.

At the heart of this two-part, two-hour documentary are 19 firsthand accounts of the women who lived the story. Meet Ann Dunwoody, General, U.S. Army (ret), the first woman to serve as a four-star general, and Michelle Howard, Admiral U.S. Navy, the first female Navy four-star admiral.

This documentary honors these women whose service has been heroic; their sacrifices profound and their enormous accomplishments largely ignored.

    Always take a healthy snack together with you to function or when you are
    out. Internal motivation is linked to neurological circuitry within the left
    prefrontal lobe; the feelings of accomplishment, passion for work,
    excitement in your day all connect to the left prefrontal cortex.
    According with a study inside American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 85: 1465-1477, 2007, various diets produce short- term weight-loss,
    but long-term perseverance is harder.

    Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something
    completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    Hi! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does operating a well-established blog like yours require a massive amount work?

    I am completely new to running a blog but I do write in my journal
    everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience
    and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any
    kind of ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
    Thankyou!
