This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

We check in with Ms. Veteran America contestant Jennifer Rollins and her heart for helping women vets.

She competed in October and won the second runner-up position. She also earned two awards, one from the Gary Sinise Foundation for selfless service. And the other for raising the most of all contestants for Final Salute, Inc.

Rollins recounts her experience in the contest (including the push-up competition) and discusses what it's like to be a woman in the military.

She will be the keynote speaker at a fundraiser for Final Salute, Inc. on Saturday, Jan. 27 at the American Legion in Hot Springs from 1 to 3 p.m.
