#FortHood had become known as a particularly perilous assignment for #FemaleSoldiers, & members of #Congress took up the cause of reform. Shortly after her remains were discovered, then-President #Trump himself invited #VanessaGuillén’s family to the WH. With Guillén’s mother seated beside him, Trump spent 25 mins w/the family as TV cameras recorded the scene. [note this was prior to the 2020 #election]

In april 2020, #VanessaGuillén, a 20-year-old #Army private, was bludgeoned to death by a fellow #soldier at #FortHood, in #Texas. The killer, aided by his girlfriend, burned Guillén’s body. Guillén’s remains were discovered 2 months later, buried in a riverbank near the base, after a massive search.
Guillén, the daughter of #Mexican #immigrants, grew up in #Houston, & her murder sparked outrage across TX & beyond.
