Her inner patriotism led to countless days of daydreaming of one day wearing the uniform and engraving her name in the legacy of those who served. That dream took flight in 1999.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stepping out of her car at Buckley Air\u00a0Force Base in Colorado, the crisp mountain air was rejuvenating. Conlee thrived in the regimented environment. She read technical manuals like novels. Her mind was a sponge soaking up the intricacies of information flow as a command post controller (1C3). Every decision she made ensured the smooth operation of the base \u2014 the enthusiastic conductor of a complex orchestra. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/DSC_3266-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/DSC_3266-1-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/DSC_3266-1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographed by Ashleigh Newnes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But her most transformative experience came unexpectedly. When Buckley Air Force Base transitioned from a guard base to an active-duty one, Conlee found herself on the frontlines of a logistical whirlwind. Thrust into a leadership role as the first 1C3 to arrive, Conlee helped build a state-of-the-art command post from the ground up. Manuals became her constant companions, though the instructions were a poor substitute for the on-the-job training she wanted. Still, with determination, she persevered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conlee\u2019s supervisor, a leader with a keen eye, recognized the potential beneath her youthful appearance. He instilled in her the values of self-reliance and resourcefulness, pushing her to think critically and solve problems with her own ingenuity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe was an impeccable leader and left a lasting impact on the way I personally grew as a leader, in the service and out,\u201d she reflected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/DSC_3365-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22386\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographed by Ashleigh Newnes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Her devotion earned her the prestigious title of Air Force Space Command\u2019s Command and Control Airman of the Year while stationed at Buckley Air Force Base. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conlee\u2019s service didn\u2019t end after leaving the Air Force in 2005. The transition to civilian life could have been jarring, but Conlee found a continuation of her service&nbsp; in the warm embrace of Coffee County. Surrounded by gorgeous valleys and&nbsp; friendly faces, she discovered a new kind of community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She found the community she sought in the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).\u00a0Whether raising funds at monthly breakfasts or cheering on young people at the\u00a0 Patriot\u2019s Pen essay competition, Conlee finds immense joy in giving back.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy passion for veterans and children and the appreciation of the place we call home is what drives me to engage in community events,\u201d she explained. \u201cAfter traveling the world with the military and landing here in Coffee County, my heart found its home.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/DSC_3245-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/DSC_3245-1-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/06\/DSC_3245-1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographed by Ashleigh Newnes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One event that holds a special place in her heart is Wreaths Across America, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve. Placing wreaths on the graves of veterans during the holiday season is a heartfelt way of expressing gratitude to those who have given so much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no better time to express our appreciation than during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. It\u2019s another heartfelt way of showing our veterans and their families that we will not forget.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Community is the cornerstone of a meaningful life for Conlee. She believes community gatherings strengthen the bonds of those in service and serve as a platform to spread awareness about veterans\u2019 needs. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you genuinely love spending time together, participating in community events is easy, and the effects are everlasting,\u201d she said. \u201cI give thanks to God for every opportunity he lays before me.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we celebrate Independence Day, Conlee reflects on the true meaning of freedom. Independence is the foundation for pursuing dreams and living a life of purpose. It\u2019s the spirit that resonates in the fireworks that light up the night sky and the patriotic music that fills the air. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, Conlee is energized by new opportunities to serve and the presence of the people who inspire her the most.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhether it\u2019s doing events with my award-winning Veterans of Foreign Wars family or in my rural community of Beechgrove, I gain so much just by being with my people. I\u2019m surrounded by truly incredible humans.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her message to the community is to \u201cget involved.\u201d Attend local events, join veteran organizations, and simply say hello to a veteran you see in passing \u2014 every act of support, big or small, strengthens our community\u2019s connection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we celebrate Independence Day,\u00a0let\u2019s draw inspiration from Conlee\u2019s journey and strive to make our own corner of\u00a0the world a little bit brighter \u2014 especially for those who sacrifice their lives daily to protect the freedoms we enjoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLife is a gift. I want to make the greatest impact that I can with the time that I have here,\u201d she said. \u201cYou have no idea the lives that you can change by loving and serving other people.
