Major Erica Vandal hails from a distinguished military family, deeply rooted in tradition and service. Inspired by her father's longstanding career in the Army, she pursued her own military path, excelling academically and athletically at West Point. However, beneath her impressive achievements, she struggled with her gender identity, knowing that her desire to express herself authentically conflicted with her conservative upbringing. Her story sheds light on the complexities faced by those who navigate the expectations of military life while seeking personal truth.
"I remember being 6 years old and telling friends I wished I was a girl... in a conservative military family, felt impossible. So she buried it."
