How the military taught her to stand up and fight - Sgt. Melanie Velez

My guest was only 18 years old when she joined the Air Force. On her first deployment to Afghanistan a fellow soldier began to take an interest in her which later turned into harassment and stalking. Unfortunately her superiors did not believe or support her. It wasn't until she brought statements from witnesses and social media that they finally took action. She's says "if it wasn't for my friends watching over me I don't know what could've happened, it's sad that in 2020 woman and men are still dealing with these types of issues. Today as she looks back at her 12 year career she wants to encourage others to stand up and fight because at the end of the day the only person that's going to be there for you, IS YOU!
