Today they made a join appearance at Leroy Elementary School where they talked to the students about the significance of being a woman and serving their communities. The women emphasized service, sisterhood, and scholarship. 

"You really can do whatever you set your mind to. There was nothing... there was nobody that could have told me, 'No' besides myself. If there was something that i wanted to do, you could go for it. There's a place for you in our Air Force. There's a place for you in every workspace that you can imagine," Marsh told CBS News Colorado.

Once both women complete their terms under the crown, they plan to return to school and continue to serve their community.
