Folks, has anyone seen this book: Band of Sisters: Women at War in Iraq? The book tells the stories of a number of U.S. servicewomen from all branches (except the Coast Guard) who have been in-country or afloat. One of the women profiled is a USMC Captain who flew as a NFO (Naval Flight Officer) in an F/A-18D during the Battle of Nasiriya, providing Close Air Support to the Marines on the ground during the night of 23/24 March 2003. Another one profiled is Maj. Tammy Duckworth, who lost both legs to an RPG during the shootdown of her UH-60 helo, and later ran for Congress (and lost), along with the first female B-2 pilot, Capt. Jennifer Wilson, and women who make up the USMC's Lioness Teams; those who help on checkpoints and raids to search local women and children. A review of the book, via Army Times, is below; comments and questions welcome.

Matt,
I reposted the URL. When I clicked on the one above, the message I got was that "it went awol."
A bit of military humor there. The 07 was missing in the above URL.

Thanks for posting this. I plan to check out this one.

Thanks for catching the mistake, patience; I apologize for it. When it's 108 outside and 94 inside with the cooler on, easy to make a typo.
