Host Gene Pell interviews two of the U.S. military's most distinguished women, retired Air Force Brigadier General Wilma Vaught and Air Force Major Nicole Malachowski. Both have broken barriers for women in the military, with Vaught one of the military's most highly decorated women, receiving the Defense and Air Force Distinguished Service Medals, the Air Force Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, and the Vietnam Service Award with four stars. She is also the first woman to command a unit receiving the Joint Meritorious Unit Award. Meanwhile, Malachowski, a veteran of 26 combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, became the first woman in Air Force history to fly with the USAF Air Demonstration Squadron, better known as the Thunderbirds.
