MONUMENT, Colo., November 30, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Fulton Books author Denise Jelinski-Hall, a graduate of BS in Business Administration, Masters Certificate in Strategic Leadership, and earned an honorary doctorate degree in Humane Letters, a decorated member of the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard, served as a board of trustee for the Military Child Education Coalition, and is a trustee on the board for United Through Reading, has completed her most recent book "From the Prairie to the Pentagon": a heartening account of a woman's journey from a simple country girl to being the most influential and highly-recognized enlisted woman in the history of the U.S. military. It is an outstanding read that defines what a patriot really is. Moreover, it is an exceptional life story that describes the obstacles the author had experienced throughout her leadership journey to the Pentagon.

The inspirational story of a young girl's journey from the family farm to a seat at the table with the most powerful civilian and military men in the world.

Raised on the family farm in Central Minnesota, Denise Jelinski-Hall attended a one-room country school through the fifth grade and never dreamed of opportunities beyond her rural community. After graduating from high school, she took an assembly-line job as a seamstress, then became a teller at the local bank. One day, a chance observation by a member of the Minnesota Army National Guard changed her life forever: 'I see so much more potential in you, Denise. Why don't you join the Air Force and get out of this town?'

Over the next three decades, Denise rose through the ranks, ultimately serving as the first woman to be the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the chief of the National Guard Bureau, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). In this position, she became the first woman to serve as a Senior Enlisted Advisor to a member of the JCS—the highest position ever achieved by an enlisted woman in the history of the US military. Denise's memoir demonstrates what one person can achieve with a strong work ethic and a desire to serve. It is a timeless American story of success, determination, perseverance, and faith.

Former Governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle shares, "A poignant story of faith, family, and country that reveals the courage it takes to try, succeed, and live to tell about life's often-improbable journey."

Published by Fulton Books, Denise Jelinski-Hall's book is an empowering narrative that highlights the trials and tribulation of a determined woman whose fearlessness, endurance, compassion and leadership skills paved the way for her to achieve the highest position ever held by an enlisted woman in the history of the U.S. military.

This is a compelling account of a woman who is "living history," who found balance in her military and civilian life; a woman who is an icon to the current and future generations; especially to women of all ages seeking to achieve their dreams.
