The story of U.S. Army Specialist Vanessa Guillén will forever be remembered in the state of Texas. On Wednesday, the Texas Senate unanimously passed House Bill 2248, declaring Sept. 30 “Vanessa Guillén Day.'
“As the only woman veteran to serve in the Texas House of Representatives, I know firsthand the abuse and traumas our servicewomen often face during their service to our country, stateside and abroad. This bill honors the life and service of Army Specialist Vanessa Guillén whose life was stolen by a fellow soldier at her duty station of Ft. Hood, Texas. HB 2248 will help break the silence and end the stigma of Military Sexual Trauma,” said Rep. Josey Garcia, a retired U.S.
“September 30th is a special date for us, Vanessa’s life and legacy are highlighted by the passage of this bill which provides the continuance of her memory and the legacy she leaves behind in order to keep our military safe with its ranks. Sexual misconduct is not incident to service,” said Mayra Guillén. “Thank you Senator Alvarado and Representative Garcia for championing this important piece of legislation.
