Honoring a sister from the Kappa Delta Chi DC Alunmae Chapter

From the kdx_dc_alumnae instagram

In honor of Memorial Day, the KDChi (award winning!) DC Alumnae chapter is honored to give the spotlight to sister Catalina Rosales Gonzalez.

She is a Major in the United States Army, working as an Air Defense Artillery Officer. Her impressive list of accomplishments include being a Chief Fire Controller of a Brigade-sized element (5,000+ Soldiers), commanding her own outfit, a Patriot Missile battery of 120 Soldiers in support of Operation Enduring Freedom & defending Isa Airbase from missile attacks.

As Catalina's career in the Army progressed, she was later selected for the JCS/OSD/ARSTAF Fellowship (Joint Chiefs of Staff/Office of Secretary of Defense/Army Staff). This fellowship is regarded as a highly competitive fellowship that selects 20 officers a year for a Masters of Policy Management at Georgetown with a follow-on two-year assignment at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and then at the Army Staff where she currently works.

Catalina will soon be leaving DC, as she has been selected to be the Operations Officer for 1-7 ADA battalion in Fort Bragg, NC.

Your accomplishments speak for themselves! Thank you for your service to our country and we are honored to call you our sister! #ProfessionalLatinas #KDChi #DCKDChiAlumnaeChapter #USArmy
