She claims that she was wounded in an RPG attack and that a Sergeant Martinez was killed by her side. The Army says that no Sergeant Martinez was killed during that time frame, according to The Globe. She has told various stories about her injuries. In one, she was raped and sent home, in another she was shot in the shoulder and treated and released at the local medical facility.<\/p>\n
\u201cGallagher recalls a badly injured little girl she was helping . . . amidst a fierce exchange of gunfire,\u201d the Patch reported. \u201cGallagher was lifted right off her feet by the powerful blast, and the next thing she was aware of was waking up in a hospital in Germany, where she was treated for her injuries. Gallagher returned to the United States at Christmas 2009.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another version of the attack was reported in October 2011 by the Boston Business Journal.<\/p>\n
The Journal reported that Gallagher \u201cwas escorting contractors working on infrastructure at an air field in Baghdad, when insurgents breached the concrete barriers and shot her in the shoulder. She was treated quickly at a combat hospital and sent home soon after.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, anyway, she resigned from her post with the State Veterans’ Services after questions about her claims of medals.<\/p>\n
The resignation occurred after the Globe raised questions about the prestigious decorations, which were mentioned in Facebook endorsements this year for her campaign for state committee, and about accounts of her overseas service that she gave to the news media during the last several years.<\/p>\n
The Air Force Reserve has no record that Gallagher received the Purple Heart, which is awarded to service members who are killed or wounded, or the Bronze Star, which is granted for heroism or meritorious conduct in combat.<\/p>\n
Gallagher did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So, I guess that’s her answer.<\/p>\n
