Cortland’s Ann E. Dunwoody Becomes Nation’s First Female Four Star General
Cortland Native Becomes Nations First Female Four Star General (Reported by CNN 11/14/08)
This is not breaking news, however I feel it is important to post. General Ann E. Dunwoody has put Cortland on the national news scene. All Seven Valley residents should be very proud.
(Read the original story here.)
Many individuals and families have contacted Gen. Dunwoody to say her achievement is “a beacon of hope for their own daughters,” she said. General Dunwoody finished her speech saying, “For me today is all about two simple words: thank you.”
The following is footage of the promotion ceremony and Gen. Dunwoody’s speech. The video is provided by the Associated Press via YouTube.
“For me today is all about two simple words: thank you.”
