Army Issues Mom Honorable Discharge

A North Carolina mom who made national headlines this week by reporting for Army duty at Fort Benning with her two young children has received an honorable discharge.

Lisa Pagan brought her kids to the base because she said there was no one else to care for them.

Pagan was recalled to duty four years after being released from active duty under the “individual ready reserve” program. Her attorney says she’s back home and was discharged due to family hardship.
