Code Breaker honored by UK at NE Funeral

No shreaking feminists, no tyrannical blathering MSM talking-heads... thought it'd be a refreshing contrast to some of the double-face-palm news.
Some dedication, a job very well done and, unlike many, kept her mouth shut till the classified nature of it had been rendered moot. Pretty cool tale.

Bravo Zulu for your work & life Mrs. Jean Briggs Watters, RIP.

WWII code breaker buried in Nebraska with UK military honors

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: September 25, 2018

OMAHA, Neb. — A 92-year-old woman has been buried in Nebraska with British military honors for a secret that she held for decades: her World War II service as a code breaker of German intelligence communications.

The Union Jack was draped over Jean Briggs Watters' casket during her burial Monday, the Omaha World-Herald reported. Watters died Sept. 15.
I hope she has a star on the wall in Bletchley Park.
And personally being of the vintage that does not find multiple tats & piercings or hair colored Red Not Found in Nature appealing at all......

That is one classically damned-good-lookin' woman.
