Book excerpt: My grandmother's final request to be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery was denied by the United States Army. As one of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of World War II, she had been among the first women to fly military planes for the United States. She had fought alongside her sister pilots for legal recognition as veterans decades after the war. Little did I know that after she was gone, I would wage her final fight on Capitol Hill - leading a grassroots media and advocacy campaign to override the Army's decision and ensure equal recognition of the WASP at Arlington National Cemetery.
