Sheri Swokowski, who served as an infantry soldier for nearly 34 years as she presented as male, plans to wear a female Army Service Uniform with an infantry gold-crossed rifle insignia at the upcoming annual Pride event at the Pentagon on June 9.
"I hope to be a visible voice for those 15,500 folks that are forced to serve in silence and sacrificing their own authenticity to do that," Swokowski said in an interview with the Washington Blade.
