Female National Guard colonel a 'trailblazer'

When Col. Teresa Gallagher of Chambersburg returns from duty in Iraq with the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, she will have to look for a new job.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Her son is a cadet at West Point Military Academy.

[Coach]

Col. Gallagher, the lacrosse program couldn't be more proud of you and what you are doing in the military and as a teacher. Thank you for your service.

Col. Gallagher is the real deal, hard-working, smart. We are very proud of her and her service to our country.

To the editorial staff at the P.O.

Colonel is capitalized.

Good job to the Gallagher family to serve your country so well.

[SSVC retiree LDT]

It's an honor to be considered her friend. Col. Gallagher has been the ultimate role model - not only in her military life, but also during her years of service at Scotland School. She believes strongly that if you have something to give, offer it. Thanks, Teresa, for all you have offered and and all you have given to those who have asked.

[Grumpy]

Gee, doesn't the state have to find her equivalent employment since her job was canceled while she was called to active duty?
