Thank You for Your Service: Rozi Heredy
(The following is a continuation of the Thank You for Your Service feature written by Bob Cohen in the September 2018 Link.)
At the end of her six-month assignment, Rozi had an opportunity of a lifetime – becoming a determining factor in Austrian defense policy. At that time, there was intense political and public debate in Austria about allowing women to serve in the armed forces. In September 1995, the Austrian Reserve Association sponsored a seminar on “Women in the Armed Forces.” Rozi, then a Lt Colonel, was invited to be the keynote speaker. The speech, presented in German, focused on her personal career as well as the position of women in the U.S. Military. She emphasized that American women are expected to complete essentially the same training, duties and educational requirements for promotion as men. Other than living accommodations, everything is equal. Rozi’s presentation was so convincing that a parliamentary representative from the Ministry of Family Affairs switched from being opposed to the idea to being an advocate. Austrian Lt. Colonel Volker Zimmermann credited Rozi with being a determining factor in the subsequent political agreement to allow women to be members of the Austrian armed forces.
Rozi’s last assignment from 2001 to her retirement in 2008 was as IMA to the
Director of Contracting, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. During her career, she was awarded the Legion of Merit Medal, Meritorious Service Medal (three oak leaf clusters), the Joint Commendation Medal, the Air Force Commendation Medal and the Air Force Achievement Medal (five oak leaf clusters). A rewarding career both for Rozi and the country.
In 2012, their children grown and Laszlo retired, the couple moved to Sun City where they have been active in numerous clubs including the Hiking Club, the Boomers, the Friends of the Summit (where she was vice president last year), the Canasta Club and the Gun Club in addition to the Security Patrol. Laszlo also had joined the Men’s Club and the Photography Club.
Her favorite activities include dancing and hiking. This year, she completed two hiking goals – Grand Canyon and Mount Charleston. As Rozi had told her students and in her speeches, “You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it! Those words hold true today for everyone – even us seniors.”
*(As the name implies, a contract officer oversees the execution of contracts between the Air Force and civilian suppliers. A large percentage of the annual DOD budget is spent in this manner. Some of these contracts are relatively small and mundane such as the acquisition of food for our bases and fuel and spare parts for our aircraft. Other contracts are multi-year efforts for more exotic weapons systems such as the stealth bombers, advanced fighter aircraft and the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System.)
