Ma'am, yes Ma'am!

Our speaker has truly blazed the trail for women in the military!  Sergeant Major Holly Praftke is a true leader for other women to learn from. During her 31 year career in the Marine Corps, Sergeant Major Prafke had nine promotions and her awards include the Meritorious Service Medal, Navy Commendation Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, and the Volunteer Service Medal.  One of her roles was Drill Instructor Duty on the Drill Field, which is very rare for women. 

She spent her early years rotating year long stints between Japan and California, but has also deployed to Iraq,  Afghanistan, and several bases state side.  She happily calls NC home now!
