Can you name the most decorated US female?

Why did you post the same question twice?

She looks pretty well decorated to me...

Then post reply to it yourself and it will bump it back to the top.
You don't even have to post a word an asterik * would do it.

So the answer to the question is...?

I'd do the tattooed lady.

Time's up! WWII and Korea Army Colonel (Nurse) Ruby Bradley; 34 medals and citations, including Legion of Merit, 2 BS, UN Svc Medal,and a POW!

Damn man!!!! That's what I'm talking about. My grandfather told me when I was a kid there were only two types.. the one you will and the one you will but won't tell anybody. And a man should be judged based on which list is longer.

Unless of course you mean the female who received the highest medal the US Military has to offer, which of course would be Dr. Mary Walker. Civil War MOH recipient, rescinded during the early 20th Century purge, then reinstated some time later. Of note, even though her medal was taken away, she still wore it until her death.

Hmm...

When we start talking about most decorated female sodliers, I think of Brigadier General Rhonda Corman. She was the Doc shot down and captured during Desert Storm.

Her decorations include the Legion of
Merit (1 OLC), Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star, Meritorious Service
Medal (4 OLCs), Purple Heart, Air Medal, POW Medal.

I don't know what her total medal count is though...

Erik, I wonder why she doesn't come up on a Google search??? Is she still on active duty? I'll check the AKO people search tomorrow at work and see what I get for a profile.
