Fox News
A year after 20-year-old U.S. Army Spc. Vanessa Guillen was reported missing from Fort Hood in Texas, her family appealed to President Biden to join in their fight to end sexual violence in the military.
"Our country stands today begging for Congress, the Department of Defense to change what’s happened… Where are we a year ago today?" the attorney asked. "This week there was a decision with George Floyd’s case. The trial’s over. The family received a $27 million settlement. Everyone says to me, ‘How much did this family receive?’… They received nothing." Khawam spoke during a press conference at the U.S. Navy Memorial Thursday at what she said investigators found out to be the exact time one year ago that Vanessa Guillen was bludgeoned to death inside an armory room at the base by another enlisted soldier, Spc. Aaron Robinson. He fatally shot himself on July 1, 2020 in nearby Killeen, Texas, as authorities were closing in on him to bring him into custody.More Related News
