Colonel Angela Woods was presented with the seventh annual Rockland County Freedom Award by Deputy County Executive Guillermo Rosa and Veterans Service Agency Director Susan Branam.

“For almost 28 years, Colonel Angela Woods has served in the United States Army in a wide variety of positions both on active duty and in the reserves,” said Deputy County Executive Rosa. “While her assignments are varied and extensive, her service is best described as a life-long quest to create exceptional teams, coach, teach and improve operational processes.”

She is currently Chief of the Health Services Support Team for the 7301st Medical Training Support Battalion at Joint Base McGuire-Dix in Lakehurst, NJ. Colonel Woods coaches, teaches and evaluates medical units that are scheduled to respond to catastrophic events including natural disasters and attacks from foreign enemies or terrorists that could potentially occur within the United States.

The prestigious award is presented during March as part of Women’s History Month and honors one local female veteran for her sacrifice and unending commitment to our nation. The Ceremony was held on Tuesday, March 5, 2019 at New City Library.
