Episode 7

Guest: Retired Major Camella Andrews- Major Retired Camella Andrews, served over 26 years and two combat tours. Mother of two and grandmother of three. After leaving the military I spent four years working with non-profit agency in support of women veterans. I was instrumental in getting the state of Texas to pass a bill making June 12th women veterans day.

We need your help. June 12, 2020, is the 72nd Anniversary of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act. The US Senate has passed a resolution to enact a National Women Veterans Appreciation Day. However, The House Resolution is sitting in Committee and has not moved since June 12th last year. The House Resolution is H.Res 438. Camella Andrews, US Army-Retired, introduced this idea to the Texas Legislature in 2017. Texas, Oregon, New York, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and California all have a Statewide Women Veteran's Day. Maj. Andrews is available for an interview to raise awareness of this pivotal legislation.
