Hi,

Hi, mom6! Where is OR is the women veterans conference? I would love to attend; I think we need more of these around the country! I just returned from Alaska where we spoke to women vets of all generations about how they need to access their VA benefits. Seems that men are all about being a veteran, but women get caught up in being wife, mom, caregiver, and daughter, and put themselves last on the list. I had Shannon Morgan of LIONESS speak to women about those who serve in combat. The public doesn't know that women have been and continue to serve in very dangerous places! Great responses - but we need to do more to provide EXCELLENT services to women.

Hi ,
I am, thanks. It is very frustating but as my Dad is a Vietnam Vet I already knew that going in. It hasn't been too bad so far. I have actually had good luck going out there every time so far. Hopefully it will stay that way and I will get my claim approved. It is just such a long process.
