Angelle Mugnier - Ms. True Blue 2007

Angelle was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her first experience with the military came from listening to her Grandfather tell stories about flying a P-47 during WWII. Her husband is 1st Lieutenant Ted Mugnier of the United States Marine Corps. He has been a Marine for four years and will be promoted to Captain in July. They met in 1999 and later married in October of 2004. His first deployment was March to October 2005 at Al Asad Airbase, Iraq. He is currently serving a second tour in Iraq. 1st Lt. Mugnier is stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar where he is an Air Intelligence Officer, and has worked with CH-53 helicopters and F-18 jets.

Angelle spends her time as a Key Volunteer keeping the families at home apprised of the goings-on in Iraq. She also sits on the board for the Miramar Officers' Wives' Club. In the last year she coordinated the Officers' Wives' Charity Golf Tournament, raising $16,000 for scholarships for active duty spouses and children. Angelle just began a new career as a consultant for Setting Traditions, a home entertainment and decorating company. In any spare time she has, Angelle is sending care packages to her husband in Iraq. Marine families never get settled in one place, and that is true for the Mugnier family who will be moving to Virginia as soon as 1st Lt. Mugnier returns from deployment.

Angelle is looking forward to helping Air Group One promote patriotism, the air show and the role that women have in today's military, whether as an active duty or reserve member, or as the spouse of a military member. The vital and important supporting role many of our military spouses play can not be emphasized enough. We will also be reminding most Americans and informing others for the first time that, indeed, "Freedom doesn't come free."
