NPR: Miss Utah Owns a Tiara and a Helmet

Miss Utah Owns a Tiara and a Helmet

Jill Stevens is a nurse, a great cook...oh yeah, and the first Miss America to have served in a combat zone. Jill Stevens spent two years in Afghanistan as a medic. We will talk to her today on the BPP!

Around 1:01, when she wins Miss Utah, is amazing. No Miss America tears. No hugs. Just a big brawny USA he-man fist pump.
If I were in charge, she'd have won it all.

I totally agree Ian...
And another great thing...no "such as" and "the Iraq" comments
