HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. -- When Massachusetts Army National Guard's newly promoted Maj. Molly Alesch spoke at her promotion ceremony, March 17, here, she echoed one of the most common stories, that her father had served in the U.S. Army. However, when it came to her inspiration to serve she turned to the audience where her sister, Army Maj. Jill Finkel of the Iowa National Guard, beamed with pride. Later she playfully described a call with her youngest sister who asked how her ceremony was, "going to go down." Army Spc. Kristen Alesch who serves in the Tennessee National Guard, was curious as she hasn't seen many officer promotions ceremonies yet in her military career.UA-87633511-1
