Barbie is a medic serving in Desert Storm.
This is the first doll I bought as an adult. At the time, my brother
was in basic training for the Army (Michigan National Guard), and I bought
it as a gift for him -- the perfect girlfriend! I stuffed her medic
bags with lacy black lingerie. But before I could send the doll to
him, he found a wonderful woman (who he later married)... and I decided
I really wanted to keep the doll. This was the start of my "warrior
woman collection."
