AN EVENING WITH COL. GRETHE CAMMERMEYER
Join us for An Evening With Col. Grethe Cammermeyer (USA Ret.): Reminiscence of Wars Foreign and Domestic.
Col. Cammermeyer, author of 'Serving in Silence' made into a film starring Glenn Close, will talk about her tour of duty as an Army nurse in Vietnam and her celebrated fight against 'Don't Ask Don't Tell'. 7:00 p.m., Thursday, February 2nd at the Land Trust Building, Vashon, Washington
She won her legal battle with the Army for discharging her for being a lesbian, and in recent years has devoted herself to fighting against "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".
Her talk is sponsored by the Vashon Heritage Museum as part of a series of presentations about women in the Vietnam War. It is being coordinated by Chris Gaynor, who currently has an exhibit at the Heritage Museum about his experience spending a year in Vietnam. His photographs, accompanied by copies of his letters home from Vietnam, make for an intense emotional experience.
The event is free and open to the public.
