| Elaine Harmon, Miller's grandmother. Pilot in the World War II. |
Erin Miller, a girl whose grandmother
was a pilot in the World War II serving the WASP, started a campaign
to get the honors to the female pilots from the Congress, after her
grandmother had these burial honors denied after dying.
Miller explains that her grandmother
received the honors from the Department of Veterans Affairs and also
a Congretional Golden Medeal, but that when she died the Department
of the Army denied her the burial honors. Her grandaughter made a
petition in the website Change.org, to spread this story and get more
people to support her. A lot of people, including Martha McSally, a
retired Air Force Colonel, supported her and thanks to this she could
get in touch with the Congress.
After some weeks speaking with
different parties representatives and people from the Congress about
this, she finally achieved her goal and all the female pilots who
served in the World War II are now going to be regognized for their
job and honored in the name of the United States.
PERSONAL OPINION:
I
think it is good that Erin Miller has achieved her goal, because it
wasn't fair that these female pilots weren't receiving their honors
while others were. I liked this news because I found interesting that
she got what she wanted by posting it online and thanks to the people
who supported her. This proves that with support from people and by
making just a little action, is it possible to finally get to change
something you find unfair.
