CHICAGO - Gold Star daughter Nyzia Wilson pins colonel rank on Beth Roxworthy during her promotion ceremony. Roxworthy, the Commander of the Illinois Army National Guard's Chicago-based 34th Division Sustainment Brigade, spoke of what she learned during each stage of her military career from the value of friendship as a lower enlisted Soldier to the meaning of sacrifice from getting to know the Gold Star family of Sgt. Simone Robinson. Roxworthy was promoted to colonel on Friday, June 21, in Chicago. Roxworthy lives in Rochester, Illinois, and is a native of Crystal Lake, Illinois. Her parents, Donald and Jo Ellen Roxworthy of Crystal Lake, pinned the colonel rank on their daughter's left side.
