  • Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks on International
    Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks on International Women's Day and an Exchange With Reporters March 8, 2021 The President. Thank you, Madam Vice President, and thank you, Mr. Secretary. On Friday, I submitted to the Senate for confirmation my first slate of nominations for four- star command positions in our Armed Forces, among them, two outstanding and eminently qualified warriors and patriots. General Jacqueline Van Ovost—and United States Air Force is currently the only female four-star officer serving in our military. I nominated her as Commander of the United States Transportation Command. And when confirmed, the Lieutenant General Laura Richardson, of the United States Army, will be promoted in rank and join General Van Ovost as the only four-star—as another four-star general. I nominated her as Commander in the United States Southern Command. And, when confirmed, they will become the second and third women in the history of the United States Armed Forces to lead combatant commands. Each of these women have led careers demonstrating incomparable skill, integrity, and duty to country. And at every step, they've also helped push open the doors of opportunity to women in our military, blazing the trail a little wider, a little brighter for all the proud women following in their path and looking to their example. And I wanted to shine the light on these accomplishments for those women today because General Van Ovost—as reiterated in an interview this last week, and I'm the second person to say this—it's hard to be what you can't see.

CARTER, Secretary of Defense; born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 24, 1954; education: earned his bachelor’s degrees in physics and in medieval history, summa cum laude, at Yale University, where he was also awarded Phi Beta Kappa; received his doctorate in theoretical physics from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He was a physics instructor at Oxford, a postdoctoral fellow at Rockefeller University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an experimental research associate at Brookhaven and Fermilab National Laboratories.
