When Arlington National Cemetery refused to accept my grandmother's last request to be laid to rest there, I refused to let her legacy as a veteran die along with her. My grandmother, Elaine Danforth Harmon, flew as a pilot with the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of World War II. Despite being part of the first group of women to fly for the United States Army, the WASP remained officially unrecognized as members of the military due to discriminatory thinking about gender on Capitol Hill and beyond. Women flying planes? Too progressive for the World War II era.

Wonderful Story
Revisado: 05-12-22
Erin does an amazing job retelling her real life journey to fight for her grandmother and WWII pilot to have the right to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
Not only is the book an emotional journey, but also an educational one as you learn about the WASP, how to lobby for legislation, and how Congress passes bills into law.
As a female veteran and pilot myself, I was incredibly moved by this book. I cried through the last chapter. Thank you, Erin, for telling your story and that of your grandmother, Elaine Danforth Harmon.
