"'I believe this is not a time for finger pointing,' he said. 't is time for the truth, the whole truth, versus misinformation and hype.'

She continued, 'I am still confused as to why they chose to lie and tried to make me a legend when the real heroics of my fellow soldiers that day were, in fact, legendary. People like Lori Piestewa and First Sergeant Dowdy who picked up fellow soldiers in harm's way. Or people like Patrick Miller and Sergeant Donald Walters who actually fought until the very end.'

...'The truth of war is not always easy to hear but it is always more heroic than the hype,' she said." *

She also reviewed -- directly and without flourish or drama -- her injuries, death of her friends, capture, sexual assault, current impairments.

I need to make sure a friend of mine (former Navy FT1) sees this -- he's friends of the Piestewa family from his AZ/NM days.
