"Holding your ground when you are right and facing obstacles head on turn us from followers to leaders," says Col. Jill Morgenthaler, one of the first women in the inaugural U.S. Army ROTC class that trained women as equals with men; the first female battalion commander in the 88th Regional Support Command; and the first female brigade commander in the 84th Division. Colonel Morgenthaler was also the first woman to run Homeland Security for the State of Illinois.
