Today We Remembered She Served Too!

Info from Florida Department of Veterans Affairs

"Women veterans are one of the fastest growing segments of the veterans’ population. Of the approximately 22 million living veterans nationwide, about 1.9 million are women."
And it is one of the reasons why we showed up at the VFW in Orlando.  Too often we all forget "she" served too.
"The Sunshine State is home to the third largest population of
women veterans in the nation, with more than 166,000."
"They comprise nearly 10 percent of the total veterans’ population and nearly 5 percent of all veterans who use VA health care services."
"Many women veterans don’t know that they are eligible for the full range of federal and state benefits, to include special programs for them."



And this is from Florida Department of Veterans Affairs too. If you're a veteran in Florida, go here and find the help you earned by serving. If you are not a veteran, kindly remember next time there are a lot more warrior women than you think.
