In 1988, Cammermeyer, a military nurse and recipient of the Bronze Star for Meritorious Service, admitted her homosexuality and was expelled. Four years later she successfully challenged the ban on homosexuals in the military and was reinstated in 1994. Cammermeyer detailed this struggle in her autobiography, Serving in Silence , which was made into an Emmy award-winning movie, starring Glenn Close. Newman will discuss the controversies surrounding her book and present a short film.
