Meet Miss Washington: the multifaceted 23-year-old Vanessa Munson. This Clark County woman is one step closer to her childhood dream of becoming Miss America. "It was quite literally a dream come true. You know, I feel like every little girl dreams of being Miss America, and I get to go compete in Miss America. It's crazy," Munson said. It's easy to see why Vanessa won the crown of Miss Washington. She's poised, smart, talented, and a ton of fun to be around. But there's something extra special that sets her apart from the competition — Vanessa is a sergeant in the US Army.
