"Veteran's effort to fight for sexually assaulted military members"| kiiitv.com
"KINGSVILLE, Texas — A special ceremony was held at Texas A&M University Kingsville this Veterans day, honoring those who wore the uniform and those who continue to make sacrifices serving and protecting. One of those heroes is TAMUK alumni and South Texas native Lisa Carrington Firmin.
'I served 30 years in the Air Force and I am Combat Veteran, I am also Latina, I went to school here,' said Firmin"
“'I was the highest-ranking Latina upon my retirement.'After serving in the air force, starting her own business and being a military liaison, she’s answering that call to duty once again, but in a different way.
'My current big project I’m working on is a book about military sexual trauma and it’s called stories from the front, pain, betrayal and resilience on the MST battlefield, MST for military sexual trauma,' said Firmin."
