In honor of Veterans Day, we wanted to highlight Latinas who have dedicated their lives to saving ours.
Latinos have fought in every American war since the Revolution. Honor those who have given their service and their lives to help keep you free and safe.
Here are some outstanding Hispanics with exemplary military careers, putting their lives on the line every day for ordinary people.
Aviation Material Readiness Officer Marisol Chalas
Chalas is one of a handful of Latina Black Hawk helicopter pilots and first for the National Guard. But the tough-minded dominicana, who graduated at the top of her class in aviation school, is also the commander of a fleet of Army Reserve Black Hawk helicopters. She served in the first Gulf War but counts an Army-sponsored mission to build rural schools and clinics in the Dominican Republic in 2006 as one of her biggest career highlights.
