"SPRINGFIELD — Erica Borggren is only 30, but she's already been valedictorian at West Point, a Rhodes Scholar, a company commander in Korea and a high-level aide to Gen. David Petraeus in the Middle East. If Gov. Pat Quinn gets his way, she'll also be director of the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs.

Quinn announced today that he was nominating Borggren, a former Army captain who grew up in McHenry, to lead the department. The appointment doesn't become official unless the state Senate approves it." Read more at the Rockford Register Star.
