"The reason we asked you on here was because your grandmother had a very special role in WWII, a role that a lot of people today still aren't always familiar with, so can you tell us a little bit about what your grandmother did during the war? During WWII, my grandmother served with the Women Air Force Service Pilots, which was the first group of female military pilots for the United States Armed Forces" Erin Miller's grandmother, Elaine Harmon, was a pilot during WWII. Her final wish was to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. A request that was denied. Erin and her family continued the fight all the way to Congress. Becca talks with Erin about her grandmother and the fight to have her buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
