PA fire debris cleanup planned
FORT SILL, Okla. — Should Alisha Stone of Sequim be called into combat in a war zone, she said she will be ready and eager to fight. Stone, 19, a 2014 Sequim High School graduate whose maiden name is Hagberg, is the second woman from Washington to train for an artillery role in the U.S. Army — a combat role only recently made available to women. In December 2015, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter announced his decision that all combat roles be open to women in all branches of the military beginning this year. “Honestly I think it would be exciting” to participate in military operations in a combat zone, Stone said recently over the phone from Fort Sill, Okla.
