Miss District of Columbia Deshauna Barber, who works as an IT analyst for the U.S. Department of Commerce in Washington D.C. as well as a Logistics Commander for the 988th Quartermaster Detachment Unit at Fort Meade, Maryland, broke down in tears as she was declared the winner in Las Vegas on Sunday night, pictured center and right. The 26-year-old, whose mother, father, brother and sister have also served in the army, claimed the title after giving a strong answer when asked
about women in combat, saying that gender doesn't limit women in the U.S. She has previously said that joining the military was the 'greatest decision' she has ever made and while she has not yet been deployed overseas, if President Obama asked her to fight in Iraq, she would jump at the opportunity. 'I'd be there in a heartbeat,' she told the Las Vegas Sun. 'That's what I signed up for 10 years ago, and that's a commitment that I still stand on today.'
