Leave the gender thing aside and here is a young woman who found herself and strength she didn't know she had. I'm a freaking recruiting poster here, but I respect her story.

Her journey began Sept. 12, 2001, the day after America was attacked by the suicide skyjackers. She was on the Temple University, Philadelphia campus walking to class when it occurred to her. She wanted to be a part of the effort to help her country fight terrorism.

God bless her and the many others who were motivated by this terrible act.
