Congresswoman Julia Brownley @RepBrownley

In 1954, Edythe “Edie” Brown won the distinction of being chosen as an “Outstanding Airman” for the United States Air Force. However, on June 30, 1955, the Air Force discharged her for being gay; and for years, she was denied veterans benefits because of the military discharge. https://t.co/Nbid4fOkA3 — PolitiTweet.org

As a Member of the @LGBTEqCaucus, I am committed to ensuring justice for everyone who was impacted by this discriminatory policy. In fact, my office has worked to restore benefits to those discriminated against under this policy – including Edyth Brown of Ventura. https://t.co/dmZjTPLHVV — PolitiTweet.org

A few years ago, Edie petitioned to have her discharge upgraded, and my office opened a case with the Air Force to assist her. Over 60 years after discharge and at the age 87, the Air Force finally granted Edie an ‘honorable’ discharge. — PolitiTweet.org
