FORT BRAGG, N.C., Jan. 25 (UPI) -- A woman who is married to a female Army officer has been named Fort Bragg, N.C., spouse of the year even though an officers' spouse club refused her membership.
Ashley Broadway, who is married to Lt. Col. Heather Mack of the 1st Theater Sustainment Command, was chosen to represent Fort Bragg in a competition next month to determine the Army spouse of the year -- with the winner representing the branch in the 2013 Armed Forces Insurance Military Spouse of the Year competition, The Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer reported Friday.
The award is presented annually by Military Spouse magazine.

This is HUGH!
Fort Bragg is not just any ole military base. It's been the home of the "fighting airborne" and the Green Beret. And it is in North Carolina. As late as the mid-1960s, maybe later, there was a highway billboard at the northern border of North Carolina. It proclaimed in huge letters "Welcome to North Carolina. You are now in the heart of Klan Country."
And that is where Ms. Broadway earned her title as Spouse of the Year.
Congrats and kudos to Ashley Broadway.
