Have you heard of Maj. Manuel J. Fernandez?
Fernandez served during WW2, the Berlin Airlift, and the Korean War. During the Korean War he racked up over 14 kills in only nine months, temporarily becoming the greatest fighter ace of the war. At the time, the Air Force would bring home its top aces to protect them and maintain troop moral. Fernandez was ordered to return home, which allowed two other fighter aces to surpass his score, leaving him as the third highest scoring ace. He would later lament this, confident that he could have maintained his spot at the top if he had just been allowed to stay.

“Vietnam had a profound effect on my priorities as a nurse," she said. "I was assigned to medical centers where we cared for many of the long-term casualties, and I was blessed to hear many of their stories of survival. From them, I learned to cherish my role as nurse and the connection we have with patients by being with them around the clock.”
She served from 1958 to 1988, becoming the first Hispanic woman to obtain the rank of Brigadier General.
