Description of Artwork: "Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story" is a television drama based on the true-life of Colonel Cammermeyer's discharge from the U.S. Army because of her lesbianism.

The Incident: A scene in the movie depicts a kiss between the lesbian couple of Margarethe Cammermeyer and her lover. The television station WAFF-TV omitted the kiss scene, which they deemed too controversial to air on television.

Results of Incident: Despite a Huntsville resident calling the station to complain, the program director refused to comment on the issue. The people of Huntsville have still not seen the scene.
