A Salute To The Heroes


Senior Airman Yvonne Tijerina is 4 feet 11 inches tall and 108 pounds. A driver and dispatcher who sometimes has to take charge of the .50-caliber machine gun.

Two tours in Iraq, she has seen action with IEDs exploding next to her convoys and in spite of that she plans to make a career of the military.

She is proof that size is no guarantee of strength and has to be the ultimate insult for the insurgents she fights as they detest the freedom she is allowed to have.

Like all those troops who serve their country against terrorists you are heroes. Be it cooks, mechanics or warriors you have accepted the challenge and this old soldier salutes you for it.
