Did you know that over 2 million women have served in the U.S. military throughout history? From nurses in the Revolutionary War to pilots in modern conflicts, women have played crucial roles in the armed services. The Women Veterans Initiative, a pivotal program under United States Vets, Inc., has been championing the cause of these remarkable veterans.
Carolyn Nagy, the Coordinator of Women Veterans Initiative, emphasizes the significance of this collaboration: “As the Coordinator of Women Veterans Initiative, it has been a privilege to be included in Genesis Village’s support of the veteran community throughout the years. Our relationship has also provided the opportunity to inform the community about women veterans and to network with other community agencies. Women veterans are often in need of housing; therefore, it is nice to know that veterans are welcome and supported at Genesis Village.”
