A poignant story of faith, family, and country that reveals the courage it takes to try, succeed, and live to tell about lifes often-improbable journey.

--Linda Lingle

Governor of Hawaii (2002-2010)

The inspirational story of a young girls journey from the family farm to a seat at the table with the most powerful civilian and military men in the world.

Raised on the family farm in Central Minnesota, Denise Jelinski-Hall attended a one-room country school through the fifth grade and never dreamed of opportunities beyond her rural community. After graduating from high school, she took an assembly-line job as a seamstress, then became a teller at the local bank. One day, a chance observation by a member of the Minnesota Army National Guard changed her life forever: I see so much more potential in you, Denise. Why dont you join the Air Force and get out of this town?

Over the next three decades, Denise rose through the ranks, ultimately serving as the first woman to be the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the chief of the National Bureau, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). In this position, she became the first woman to serve as a Senior Enlisted Advisor to a member of the JCS--the highest position ever achieved by an enlisted woman in the history of the US military. Denises memoir demonstrates what one person can achieve with a strong work ethic and a desire to serve. It is a timeless American story of success, determination, perseverance, and faith.

This story is an inspiration to those in the military. Denise is a role model for leadership

in the corporate world and an example of achievement to those looking for self-improvement.

--Sergeant Major of the Army Kenneth O. Preston

United States Army (ret.)

Praise for From the Prairie to the Pentagon

Great story! The media and many government officials say the strength of our nation is our military services, and in turn, the strength of our military services is the volunteers who wear the uniform of our nation. Once you read this story, you will know the truth behind that statement. Starting from a life of humble beginnings based on a strong work ethic and a determination to succeed, Denise leads you through the circumstances and ultimate decisions that lead her to serve as the Senior Enlisted Advisor for the chief of the National Guard Bureau. Throughout this journey, Denise magnificently demonstrates how she found balance between her military and civilian careers, being a mother to her children, and a wife to her military husband. This story is an inspiration to those in the military, a role model for leadership in the corporate world, and an example of achievement for those looking for self-improvement.

Chief Jelinski-Halls is a life that defines a pure patriot; grit, sacrifice, fearlessness, endurance Im proud to call Denise a battle buddy and an exceptional Senior Enlisted Advisor, but more important, blessed to call her my friend. Share in this extraordinary journey.

Great leaders are lifelong learners. For those interested in gaining insight into how to be a better leader, the plethora of leadership books available may seem daunting. Many of the current crop of books on leadership seem formulaic and provide little real-life help improving personal leadership skills. From the Prairie to the Pentagon is NOT such a book.

This is the most compelling, inspiring example I have ever encountered of how strong core values and an indomitable human spirit can achieve (and surpass) our lifetime goals. Having served thirty years of military service in thirteen enlisted and commissioned paygrades, I can only marvel at the benchmark for success this book provides for our future generations who will so significantly benefit from being made aware of this tough-as-hell, caring and totally dedicated warrior.

Denise is one of the greatest examples of military professionalism and leadership I have seen in over a decade of working closely with the military. The fact that she was the first woman to hold her position speaks to her exceptional qualities.

Men and women at all levels of leadership, whether civilian or military, will gain a great deal of insight by reading Denises story.
