The City of West Hollywood will co-host a very special evening with Col. Margarethe (Grethe) Cammermeyer. Cammermeyer is the highest-ranking military official to come out while in the service. Prior to “Don't Ask, Don't Tell,” she challenged the military policy banning gays and lesbians and she won the right to serve. She earned a bronze Star for her service in Vietnam and was the Veterans Adminstration’s Nurse of the Year in 1985. In 1994 she published her autobiography Serving in Silence, which was made into a TV movie starring Glenn Close; it won a Peabody and three Emmy awards. The event will also feature a screening of the film, Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story. For more information, please call (323) 848-6403.
