US Marine Corps, 1979-1981
Angela Madsen served in the US Marine Corps as a military police officer, and a member of the Women’s All Marine Corps basketball team, medically retiring after she was injured in the line of duty. Angela didn’t let a wheelchair stop her from breaking records in sports: a three-time Paralympian, she also holds multiple Guinness World Records for rowing across oceans without a support boat.
