relates to women who have served and who are transitioning back into civilian life
and have experienced sexual assault and other unfortunate situations while serving
in the armed forces. Our “Women Veteran’s Day Tributes” of 2006 through 2009

making a significant impact in what is one of our nation’s most quieted but
