This Girl Scout Made It Her Mission To Honor Fallen Servicewomen

A Colorado community unveiled a memorial honoring fallen servicewomen that was made possible by one Girl Scout.

When 18-year-old Michayla Cassano learned that her home state of Colorado only had two memorials honoring fallen servicewomen, she took matters into her own hands. The Fountain, Colorado Girl Scout spent three years planning, designing, and soliciting donations for a memorial honoring women who lost their lives in combat, urging, “We need more recognition for women.”
