Air Force Times: Discharge dropped for airman who claimed retaliation
Protect Our Defenders President Nancy Parrish is featured in this Air Force Times story:
Bridges’ parents released a statement through Protect Our Defenders today: “We are delighted that finally some attention is being brought to our daughter’s case (and many others like her). … This has been a long time coming and, in our opinion, long overdue.”
Protect Our Defenders also lauded the Air Force’s decision but called on the service to investigate the alleged retaliation.
“Unfortunately, what happened to [Bridges] is something we see far too often in the military — the victim of sexual harassment and assault is punished for coming forward,” Protect Our Defenders president Nancy Parrish said in a statement. “Our brave sons and daughters, brothers and sisters that risk their lives for us deserve to receive justice equal to the civilians they protect.”
