Air Force Major Lauren Daly landed a dream job on an aircraft that flies top government officials.
“Our top five is our primary customer and why we exist. So that’s the first lady, the vice president, the chairman of the joint chiefs, the secretary of defense, and the secretary of state,” said Maj. Lauren Daly.
At home she has a different title: mom, juggling life with newborn, Hope, and toddler, Jacob.
“When I first got into the military 10 years ago, there were not a lot of females in the higher ranks. And the ones that were did not have children or did not choose to have a family to make it to where they were. And now you’re kinda starting to see, like, more women in the wing commander positions and squadron commander who have done it,” said Daly.

March 16, 2021 - SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday issued a proclamation declaring March 15-21, 2021, as Women’s Military History Week in the State of California.

PROCLAMATION
California’s woman veterans are part of a long and proud legacy of military service. Throughout the years, women went to great lengths to serve alongside their male counterparts. Historically, many disguised themselves by dressing as men, leaving behind their homes and families to pledge their lives and allegiance to this nation. Women sacrificed so much to serve their country, yet far too often, they have done so without the recognition and gratitude they deserve.
