Hello Everyone,
Wow! So much to write about with Veterans Day just passing. I have a lot to blog about as there is so much to say but today I wanted to write about our lady veterans, or as I like to call them.. Ladies of Liberty :) Having spent all day with them on Veterans Day, I was able to not only talk to them about their experiences of being in the services but also heard about the various challenges that are unique in be a "female soldier." After hearing their stories, civilian ladies, we have no reason to complain! Even though our lives are full of challenges, being a lady veteran is definitely not for the weak. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and leave your children and families so others can be safe and enjoy theirs. Below I found a poem with the author unknown but none the less I thought it was fitting as even though it may be whimsical, there is truth to it all... Hope you enjoy!
