Colonel (retired) McSally is America’s first woman to fly a fighter jet in combat and command a fighter squadron in combat. A Distinguished Graduate from the U.S. Air Force Academy, McSally flew 325 combat hours in the A-10 “Warthog,” deploying six times to the Middle East and Afghanistan and earning the Bronze Star and six Air Medals. McSally will share her pioneering journey and lessons from being a shy motion-sick girl who lost her dad at a young age to a real-life Top Gun fighter pilot, Ironman triathlete, and later U.S. Senator. Get ready to be deeply moved to find your own courage and perseverance from this inspiring, barrier-breaking warrior.
