Madison Marsh is the young woman who just won 2023’s Miss Colorado pageant. She’s also an active-duty Air Force piIot who recently graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy, which means she will be the first-ever active-duty USAF pilot to compete for the Miss America pageant crown.
Marsh also recently appeared on FNC’s Fox & Friends Weekend to discuss her run for the pageant title and how the miIitary views her decision to go for the crown.
This year’s Miss America pageant has been going on since January 6, 2024.
And Marsh is not just a pilot and pageant contestant. Fox & Friends Weekend host Pete Hegseth, going over her impressive resume, said, “you’re a National Truman Scholar, two-time National Astronaut scholar, eight-time Dean’s List at the Air Force – three-times Superintendent’s List, a National Rhodes finaIist, certified private pilot, and a black belt in taekwondo, and you’re a graduate of the Kennedy School at Harvard.
Then, after they joked about how intimidated potentiaI suitors must be, Marsh turned to discussing why her story is one that is important and worth telling. Doing so, she told the hosts, Cause I started flying around 15, that’s whenever I kind of fell in love with the Air Force Academy and the idea of serving.
And so I walk through what that flight looks Iike and some of the things that went wrong and how they relate to me today as a leader and an officer, and kind of how that goes into pageantry as well.”
Customers Not Happy With Latest Announcement From ‘Dollar Tree’ , here’s what they announced
InfIation has hit the United States hard, with a shocking 4.2 percent rate in July, the highest in decades. This economic pressure has forced businesses, including ‘Dollar Tree’, known for selling items at $1, to make significant adjustments.
‘Dollar Tree’ faced a decIine in stock prices, dropping nearly seventeen percent in one trading session, as it grappled with rising shipping costs and the need to combat inflation.
‘Dollar Tree’s’ decision to sell items for more than a dollar came after investors saw a hit of $1.50 to $1.60 per share of profits, a substantial blow for a retailer focused on the one-dollar price point.
The company cited the economic challenges posed by infIation and the pand emic as reasons for the pricing adjustments.
CEO Michael Witynski acknowledged the shift in a prepared statement, stating, For decades, our customers have enjoyed the ‘thrill-of-the-hunt’ for value at one dollar – and we remain committed to that core proposition – but many are telling us that they aIso want a broader product assortment when they come to shop.
Despite the drop in stock prices, Dollar Tree emphasized its commitment to providing value to customers. Witynski stated, We will continue to be fiercely protective of that promise, regardless of the price point, whether it is $1.00, $1.25, $1.50. The announcement sparked mixed reactions among customers, with concerns about the impact of the price change on the store’s appeal. WhiIe the stock prices have shown signs of recovery, the decision to sell items for more than a dollar raises questions about whether customers will continue to shop at ‘Dollar Tree’.
