Respecting Women Who Served

Lady Vet is on a mission to help broaden public perspective of what a Veteran looks like. We have much respect for the two million-plus women in the US who – like their male counterparts – once wore a military uniform and served their country with pride.

Military service is a huge and deeply personal experience that has a lasting effect on those who experience it. Women Veterans are often mislabeled, overlooked and even dismissed – by men and women alike. Not 30 years ago, but right now in 2021. Asking for greater visibility is not arrogant or attention-seeking. Some of the challenges women face during and after service are unique and not always adequately addressed. And that will not change until we can see women in service for who they are: a significant and growing element of the Military and Veteran populations.

At Lady Vet, we know that ultimately you don’t want to be honored or seen as special, you just want to be recognized as a veteran and treated like an equal. You worked just as hard and sacrificed just as much to earn the title of Veteran. We want you to know that we see you, we hear you, and we respect you for your service.
