Amelia Cunningham went to college on the GI Bill, and she is a Fulbright-Hays Scholar, and has two masters degrees.
As we celebrate Women's History Month, we want to introduce you to a Chicago native who has"been there and done that," as a woman who served our country in the Korean War.
She's pretty busy, but we caught up with her at her home in the southwest suburbs just the other day. "Seeing the changing of the guard , that was unbelievable, and we didn't know they have a female memorial. That was really something to see," Cunningham said. "I know other people have stories different from mine, but I was very, very lucky," Cunningham said."I got along with everyone, and everyone was very nice to me."She loves showing it off when she talks to school groups about the military, and loves what the kids have to say.
