April 29, 2004Army Spec. Theresa Lynn Flannery Is More Of A Soldier Than Hinzman Or Hughey Could Ever BeFormer Miss Teen Madison County shows that at only 5 feet 3 inches tall she is more of a soldier than Private First Class Jeremy Hinzman or Private Brandon Hughey could ever be. 26-Year-old Army Specialist Theresa Lynn Flannery is being recommended for the Bronze Star with Valor device for her actions during a two-hour firefight near Najaf, Iraq. She threw herself into the battle at Najaf earlier this month. She shot back at the enemy, then used her combat lifesaving training to treat her wounded buddies. On one occasion she was forced to dive for cover and broke her wrist in the process. Despite the pain she continued to fight back. Even the bullets from an Iraqi sniper couldn’t slow this “fireball” according to her mother. My hat is off to you SPC Flannery and all those who fought alongside of you. Recent Americans turned traitorous pansies, PFC Hinzman and PVT Hughey could learn allot from SPC Flannery. She is a true patriot, a real American. I would love to know what Hinzman and Hughey think about a tiny woman (apparently only in stature) doing the job that they ran away from.

Yes, she is someone to be very proud of, I hope she fully recovers and can someday get the nightmare out of her mind. One tough lady, she can cover my six any day.
