 I sit at our drawing table with my male counterpart and that people walk up and thank him for his service and I'm just going to continue to just ignore it. It's like, no, I'm the one who's served. I'm the veteran. I was called up in 1990, in artifact August of 1990, for the first Persian Gulf War. I served in the United States Army from December 1981 to May 2006. I was part of Noble Envolg, the Kosovo campaign. There was Desert Shield. Women have served in the military, continue to do so. I sustained an injury in the Marine Corps to my hips and back. And it's really important to have our voice out there to be able to tell our stories. I was a doctor of public health. My official Air Force title was bio-environmental engineer. To be part of creating solutions. A lot of the things that they have at the VA, I think that they don't take into consideration women veterans. And I think sometimes women will not let people know that they have problems. We have to prove more, it seems, and you know that shouldn't be right. DAV empowers women veterans by giving them opportunities to serve again. That's showing these women when they come home. There are other women here. And we are here to embrace you. Women veterans have a voice and it should be heard.
