WASHINGTON — Following the nomination of Vice Admiral Michelle Howard for promotion to four-star admiral, media sources have confirmed she is indeed the first African-American woman to receive such a post.
“Vice Admiral Howard has had a long and interesting career,” Frederick Kant, editor of U.S. News & World Report, told his reporters Wednesday. “So don’t say a single thing about it. Instead, talk about how she’s a woman. She is following in the footsteps of Gen. Dunwoody, the first female four-star general in the Army, and Gen. Wolfenbarger, the first female four star in the Air Force.”
