- Summary:
- Shot and wounded, pilot MJ HEGAR clung to a helicopter landing skid mid-flight while firing at the enemy in Afghanistan, defending and saving her crew and three injured troops. She received the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor Device, but was later denied a combat job because she was female. Her name goes down in history for defeating the Air Force Combat Exclusion Policy for women. DANA STEVENS lets us know about the brave, persistent MJ Hegar - warrior, wife, mother, politician, fighter for justice. This is one gal you have got to know about!
