Raised on the tough streets of Chicago’s South Side, Joan Burton overcame a troubled youth by becoming a Citadel cadet.
Through grit and determination, Joan Burton defied stereotypes and expectations, rising through the ranks of the U.S. Army.
She became Fort Marshall’s first African-American female lieutenant colonel — presently commanding more than 400 men.
