Beck was awarded the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and the Meritorious Service Medal during her time in the service, when she kept her gender identity a secret, according to a 2015 profile in GQ.

The President said that transgender service in the military causes a “disruption,” a claim bashed by Beck among others after the commander-in-chief’s Twitter announcement Wednesday.
