Lynnell Edwards Contributing writer My husband, a staff sergeant, manages a few spe- cialists, and to inspire them he has commissioned my sister to draw a WWII-pin-up-girl-inspired logo for their squad, complete with their motto taken from a letter by a French infantryman who fought alongside them in Afghanistan: In the absence of orders, attack!
