 My father was in the Spanish-American War, 9th Calvary All-African American. My father always said that help someone else. My name is Delphine Metcalfoster. Our United States Army retired first sergeant. I said, no, I will go in. At the time, my daughter was in high school. She said, everyone's going to laugh. You just can't make it into the military. I said, well, why don't you come go with me? She lasted two weeks and I lasted 21 years. I had a great registration company with the first Desert Storm Desert Shield where I had to take the bodies and put them in the body bags and send them back to the United States. Now, I do have the PTSD. There's no prosthetics you see, but it's something there that will always be there. I met a gentleman that worked for the DAV and found out the great things that they were doing for our veterans assisted them not only in benefits, but fighting for them in Washington. I said, hmm, a way to help. Okay, so I joined the DAV because I just saw what they were doing and they were just so positive. DAV has always been on the forefront for women. I am a veteran and my victory is making a difference for other female veterans.
