Female Veterans: Still Fighting Even Though They're Home

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may be over, but our female veterans are finding a new battlefield - home. There are more than 800,000 veterans living in Virginia and of that number 95,000 are women. Many face problems when they return from war - from homelessness, to medical and mental health issues, to re-establishing family ties. Civilians assume there are programs to handle these issues but unfortunately there are few resources to help women veterans. On the next Another View, we'll talk about the issues unique to female vets, and we'll learn about the Gladys Gatlin Foundation, a new organization that focuses on helping women re-enter society after war. Our guests include Army veteran Bridget Reed along with Senior Advisor Aubrey Wilson,and Marketing Director Bruce Williams, both with the Gladys Gatlin Foundation. Plus, Lisa Godley brings us the story of Children of the Sun. It's all on Another View, Friday, June 15 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream us at whrv.org.
