      We ALL fight. We ALL get the chance to represent the people. Some are asked to wear a GENERAL STAR. Some do not want this but some wear this as it is not their voyage but a Family Voyage. As A Canadian? I wish sometimes I had the resources the Americans have.

      She said blood sister, meaning biological sister. No one said they shed nor should You Deny the general if that was said. She might have shed blood and probably have shed blood for her country considering her Rank and length of service to achieve that. In addition the US military was fighting many theatres during her service time not to forget she was an aviation officer before this post.
