Exclusive Interview with Major Annie: 'Life Of Service'

Air Force Major ‘Annie’ (as we’ll refer to her), who was born in Afghanistan, came to the U.S. as a teenager to get an education. She enlisted in the Air Force in 1985 and attained the rank of Master Sergeant. On September 11, 2001, Major Annie was the only Airman in the Air Force to understand Pashto (the same language spoken by the insurgent group known as the Taliban) and was immediately deployed as an Aircrew Linguist. After two deployments, she was assigned to the National Security Agency for four years. In recognition for her work in a global war on terror, a bronze statue of has been erected in the Veterans Park on Okaloosa Island. While retired, she still works to serve (and save) others.   This exclusive interview is found in 'The Rise Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.com   Featuring: Major Annie Interviewed by: Allié McGuire Music by: Sol Rising Produced by: Awareness Ties
