U.S. Marine Capt. Anneliese Satz Is A Member Of The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes

The first female F-35B pilot has been honored by the United States Senator from her home state of Idaho.

Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) submitted a statement to The Congressional Record last September 9 honoring U.S. Marine Capt. Anneliese Satz of Boise, ID. Capt. Satz is a member of the Shoshone-Bannock tribes.

The Idaho State Journal reports that Sen. Crapo presented the statement to Satz during a holiday visit to Idaho.

The statement reads:

“I congratulate U.S. Marine Captain Anneliese Satz, of Boise, Idaho, on her many achievements, including being the first woman to fly the F-35 fighter jet for the U.S. Marine Corps. Above all, I thank Captain Satz for her service to our nation.

“In June, Captain Satz became the first female Marine to complete the F-35B Basic Course. Before she joined the Marines, she earned her commercial pilots license flying helicopters. I understand Captain Satz has been assigned to her first operational unit: the ‘Green Knights’ of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121 in Iwakuni, Japan. ... Thank you, Anneliese, for your service to our country and for your hard work and great leadership. Your preparation and diligence are commendable. You are showing young Americans, and adults alike, through your example of dedication and proficiency that high goals are achievable.”
