The way Alyce Dixon takes command of a room, the way she’s showered with greetings and blessings from other residents and staffers at the VA Medical Center as she rolls through the halls, can make it seem as if her wheelchair is a throne on wheels.
No wonder she’s called the “Queen Bee” at the medical center, where she’s lived for 10 years.
Dixon — one of the first African American women to serve in the Army — continued her spitfire assault on a second century of living with a spirited birthday bash Tuesday celebrating 105 years.

My hat is off to this fine lady!
Thank you for your service, ma'am!
Funny how there are pretty much zero comments on this article. I for one thank her for her service, and for being a pioneer in desegregation of our armed forces, thus allowing ALL Americans to serve our fine country. Shame on the jerks who can't be bothered to say something nice about this fine lady.
