Situation Report
FORT CARSON, Colo. — The wife of a top U.S. General will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom Friday after posing as a centerfold in Playboy Magazine to raise awareness for PTSD, the White House has announced.
Mary Lou McGee, the third wife of Gen. Walt McGee, is to receive the award for her dedicated troop advocacy efforts, and more specifically, her attempt to help troops overcome the horrors of war by showing them the wonders of her rack, sources said.
After two failed marriages, Gen. McGee, who commands the 69th Maneuver Support Division, was able to get his hands on a real looker of a wife, who he met while on leave at the Playboy Mansion. After getting married in a Las Vegas chapel, Mary Lou has tried hard to attain credibility with those who think she is nothing other than another trophy wife.
