Today is Veterans Day. The 2009 Parade at the state capitol this past weekend had an unusual Grand Marshall--a 90 year old who was one of the first female drill sergeants in the US Army. Anne Capucille sat down with WUNC's Laura Leslie to talk about her groundbreaking career.

Web Extra: Find more stories from Capucille plus links to military women's history sites at Laura's blog.
