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.”
During a very cold night, a rich man and a homeless old man met.
On a freezing night, a wealthy man encountered a homeless old man and asked, “Aren’t you cold without a winter coat?” The old man replied, “I’m used to it.” Surprised, the rich man promised to bring him a warm coat and asked him to wait. The old man, hopeful, agreed.
However, the wealthy man forgot and didn’t return until morning, only to find the old man had passed away in the cold. A note was left behind: “I survived without warm clothes before, but your promise gave me hope. When that hope faded, so did my strength.”
Moral: Don’t make promises you can’t keep. What may seem small to you could mean everything to someone else.
