Governor Greg Abbott has signed the Vanessa Guillen Act Into Law, which allows military members to report sexual assault outside the military chain of command.
From the case of Vanessa Guillen which sparked nationwide outrage to the unusually high number of soldiers gone missing or found dead on post and in the surrounding area, a very loud alarm has been ringing at Fort Hood for the last few years and after much public outcry, change is coming to the base.
Officials announced Tuesday that a memorial gate will be constructed in honor of Vanessa Guillen, the murdered soldier whose death sparked major changes.
Actress Jada Pinkett Smith met with the family and attorney of the slain Fort Hood soldier whose shocking murder has sparked a national demand for protection of military service members.
