1. For those who missed it, you didn't miss much.

2. A young girl plowing the fields, I think this is a bold faced lie.

Having grown up in ag myself and worked every summer in the fields during high school and even some hand picking in middle school, I can say that it's very unlikely that she plowed fields as a young girl.

As a young woman of 16 or older, on top of a John Deere pulling a plow, that much is quite possible, but that would be a "young woman" or an "old girl" driving a machine, not a young girl plowing a field.

Sheesh.

4. I am curious as to her military service "overseas".

Well, actually, all of her military service.
