You Can!...Donna W. Martin

"I don't consider myself a trailblazer but I do want young women to look at me and say, 'anything is possible'. I think that if you work hard, and you really believe in yourself, you can achieve anything that you absolutely set your mind to."

--Major General Donna S. Martin, Commanding General, Fort Leonard Wood U.S. Army Installation, Missouri

On Tuesdays, womenatliberty.com presents #LeadershipTuesdays, a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage and strengthen women leaders. Today we feature a quote by military trailblazer, Major General Donna W. Martin, who made history as the first woman to take Command of one of the Army's premier training installations in the U.S., Fort Leonard Wood U.S. Army Installation. Based in the Ozarks region of Missouri, the military base welcomes 80,000 military personnel and visitors each year. In addition to managing its day-to-day operations, she will also oversee the construction of a $100 million hospital in the next 2-3 years that replaces the current General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital.
