Today, Lt Col Margaret Ingerslew is employed by the United States Air Force as the Deputy Director of the Deputy Commander Action Group at Offutt Air Force Base. Margaret and her husband Seth have three children, Andersen, Madeline, and Scarlet.
As she looks back at her time as a Warrior, she fondly recalls band and choir tours, state music
competitions, and the senior class trip. Her most favorite memories are the car trips to and from school with her friend Chelsea, who is still her friend going on 35 years. Margaret believes that the educational foundation she received at Lincoln Lutheran enabled her to thrive through the rigor of college, military training and education, as well as graduate studies. The advice she has for today’s Warriors is to be true to yourself, know your worth, and guard your beliefs and core values.
