A true honor to meet our nations oldest female veteran, San Antonio resident Lucy Coffey, 108 years young. Lucy served as a sergeant in the Womens Army Auxiliary Corps in WWII and holds two Bronze Stars for service in the Pacific. Was pleased to join another hero, Sen. Bob Dole, in visiting with Lucy this morning as she toured our war memorials in Washington, an all-expenses-paid trip for her made possible by a number of persistent individuals, including a pair of retired Marines, Honor Flight Austin and American Airlines. There is no greater privilege than spending time with a hero like Lucy who embodies the spirit and honor of our Greatest Generation. May God bless her and keep her well.
