Sgt. 1st Class Kelly Simon, a public affairs noncommissioned

Sgt. 1st Class Kelly Simon, a public affairs noncommissioned officer in the 27th Public Affairs Detachment, 10th Mountain Division, candidly recounts her own sexual assault and healing journey with Soldiers of 2nd Brigade Combat Team during Sexual assault Awareness and Prevention Month, April 3, 2019, at Fort Drum, New York. Simon's experience with sexual violence occurred before the military implemented any version of today's Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Program, which ultimately drove her to become a victim advocate and begin sharing her story with others.
