Gen. Greg Lusk, the adjutant general of North Carolina, commander of the NCNG, left. Bunce serves with headquarters 105th Engineer Battalion. In November 2015, two armed assailants broke into her home. She maneuvered through gunfire and engaged her intruders with her own firearm wounding one of her assailants and being wounded during the crossfire driving them from her and her infant child’s home. Then she returned to her child and called authorities while administering self-aid to her wounds. The ceremony was part of the celebration of the NCNG’s birthday noting its founding with the Carolina Charter to “… levy, muster and train men …” in 1663.
