9 The storied history of 91st Training Division added a new chapter on September 17, 2020 as Brigadier General Patricia R. Wallace became the division’s first woman and African American commanding general. She holds the title with pride, reflecting on the long line of officers who have commanded the division before her.
“There have been many exceptional leaders prior to me,” said Wallace. “I strive to lead in a manner that honors their legacy and advances the 91st capability to provide warfighters to win American’s wars.”
The decision to join the military was greatly influenced by the support of her parents; her mother, Helen, and her father, William, a Vietnam veteran. “He inspired me to want to serve,” says Wallace about her father, Retired Navy Master Chief Petty Officer William Harper, who demonstrated to his daughter that joining the Armed Services benefits not only yourself, but your community and the nation.
