Year of the Woman Veteran 2013

Recently, while at the historic AMVETS Post 2 in Culver City, I interviewed two members of the AMVETS CA Women Veterans Committee, Deedra DeCoster (C) and Deborah Rembold (L).

A special Thank You to our on location crew, Jesse Austin and Jennifer M. Crandell.

We discuss the empowerment of Women Veterans and why we joined to make a positive difference through AMVETS.  We encourage all veterans to join and become an active member in any Veteran Service Organization like AMVETS, American Legion, Disabled American Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars.  Most of the benefits we receive as vets, were created first as resolutions from V.S.O.'s.

Year of the Woman Veteran 2013 refers to when many combat roles were opened up to military women for the first time in history by the Department of Defense.  The population of women in the military is 15%.
