MY OFFICE at the Air Reserve Personnel Center in Denver notified reservists who were recalled to active duty during Operation Desert Storm. We had difficulty locating one female sergeant, but we finally obtained a phone number. I put the call through and asked for the woman by name. I explained that she was being reactivated and told her she would need to report to her duty station. "Do you understand?" I asked.

There was a long pause at the other end of the line. "Honey, you just made my day," she said. "I'm 85 years old and raring to go!"
