Guardians,
I am pleased to announce that two of our Coast Guard members, Commander Alicia Garcia Vantran (Flight Surgeon and Medical Doctor assigned to the Clinic in Headquarters) and Ms. Irma Edys Fuentes (Civil Engineering Unit Miami), were honored by Latina Style Magazine for their outstanding military service to the Nation. They were among 12 members selected from all the military services and the National Guard Bureau. According to the magazine:
"The men and women of the active and reserve branches continue to work in traditional and nontraditional operations sustaining readiness and core capabilities while building a future where they can operate to fight and lead for their country. LATINA Style's mission is to ensure Latinas are recognized for their commitment and accomplishes this by honoring brave Latinas in the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, National Guard Bureau, U.S. Coast Guard, and the Defense Logistics Agency. These 12 active-duty service members and Department of Defense civilians are Latinas who serve the nation in the defense of our freedom and are outstanding examples of leadership, dedication and bravery."
Congratulations again to CDR Vantran and Ms. Edys!
