When schools and businesses invite veterans to speak this Veterans Day, women veterans should be part of the conversation.

Our stories show the many ways women have served, led, and continued to make an impact. Representation matters, especially for the next generation learning what a veteran looks like.

If you’re a woman veteran with a story or expertise to share, explore joining the Veteran Speaker Directory. Know someone whose voice belongs on that stage? Share this with her.
