YOU BET!!!!!!!

When I worked at a vet center as a volunteer in the PTSD rap group-the very first PTSD veteran I met was a female veteran who served in Vietnam.

This is one of many sites that shows the tremendous service of women during the Vietnam War.

The Tribe of my ancestor (Wanpanoag Indianswho saved the Pilgrims) had one of the first OIE OIF female military casualties during the Iraq War.

VA needs to do more for ALL female servicemembers and veterans- stateside or where ever they served- they deserve more

and some of them are HOMELESS! As well as male veterans.

Thats alot of $ allocated.
