Answer:
One sister had wanted to be a soldier since she was young. The other planned to have a career in the U.S. Foreign Service, which is the diplomatic service of the United States. Both celebrated a milestone for the U.S. Army this summer: Major General Maria Barrett and Brigadier General Paula Lodi are believed to be the first pair of sisters to become generals, the military branch's highest rank.
"The fact that both of us would have come from the same family, it almost makes you want to go out and get a lottery ticket," Barrett said. "Except, this is not a game of chance. It is hard work, it is strong leadership skills."
Their rise to the rank of general signals to younger soldiers that women can fill respected leadership roles in the traditionally male-dominated Army, said Emma Moore. She does research for the military, veterans and society program at the Center for a New American Security, a bipartisan think tank that studies national security.
"They're testaments to the fact that you can join the Army and have very different experiences and rise to the top," Moore said. "There's a job for anyone and everyone in the military."
