She wore combat boots
underneath her dress
in high school
never knowing one day
her face would bless
the world's front pages
national TV and the 'net.

She wore combat boots,
and now everyone knows
young lady Jessie,
one of the lucky ones
who will come home soon,
and have another chance
to wear combat boots
under her dress.


Welcome back, Jessie.

Thank you Kacy.  I had heard
she would stay in - but I know
one thing - there won't be a
school child she won't be able
to guide in all of the right
ways!

Yep, this gal really is at home in combat boots.
And Karilea? yes, she will undoubtedly become a major role model for thousands of American youth.

Maybe she will be the new cover girl look?

This very special young lady, fighting for our country, definitely has an angel on her shoulder.

Hooray for Jessie ~~ a true American hero.

Hugs for peace, Marti
