SERVICE, the film, portrays the courage of several women veterans as they transition from active duty to their civilian lives. We see the horrific traumas they faced, their invisible as well as physical injuries and all their challenges in receiving benefits and care.


From the deserts of Afghanistan to rural Tennessee, from Iraq to New York City, we watch these women wrestle with prosthetics, homelessness, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Military Sexual Trauma.

The documentary is told through their voices as they speak from The documentary is told through their voices as they speak from their kitchens, bedrooms, grocery stores and therapy sessions. Their pictures and videos shot in Iraq and Afghanistan speak volumes.

If you go to the link and listen to the radio interview, you'll hear about a young soldier. Both legs lost and another soldier taking over the job of breathing for the wounded friend. The wounded friend was a female soldier.

With that new report consider this. A Congressman thinks that wives should submit to their husbands. Wonder if he'd say that same thing face to face with the female soldier above?

Rep. Steve Pearce (R-N.M.), a Vietnam veteran, explains in his book that families, like the military command, need a leadership structure in which every person has a role. He says the wife's role, according to the Bible, is to be obedient to her husband.

Both of us work together, care about what the other wants, needs and even though we do not agree all the time, we've been married since 1982. His thoughts come from Ephesians 5:22-33 but that was during a time when they were still dealing with men being able to have more than one wife. The Bible also does not take into account many other cultures where women were trained to be fighters to protect the homeland while the men were out fighting other wars.
