This R.E.D. Friday, we honor U.S. Army First Lieutenant Ashley White, a North Carolina National Guard officer who volunteered to serve on a Cultural Support Team alongside the 75th Ranger Regiment in Afghanistan. Her role enabled special operations forces to engage Afghan women during sensitive combat missions. On October 22, 2011, Ashley was killed by an improvised explosive device during a nighttime operation in Kandahar province. Posthumously awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, her courage, pioneering service, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
