S2 Ep5 - “Advocating For Women Veterans”
<p>We should want to live a life of winning. However, not all our circumstances lead us in the<br />
winning direction. At least, this is how it may appear. I as an Army Veteran did not always<br />
have the winning mentality. When I joined the military at the tender young age of 19, I had<br />
no idea that would put me on a trajectory to win. There are so many reasons we join the<br />
military and especially women its certainly was not the first choice for me in my household.<br />
I have been on a few Veteran panels, mostly consisting of men and our reasonings were<br />
very different for joining to serve. However, the outcome was the same for us. We came out<br />
on top. With this intestinal fortitude that drives us to win. Unfortunately, that is not the<br />
case for many. Some are confused and take routes to try and soothe the confusion, which<br />
can lead to more detrimental life changes. This is why it is so important for those of us who<br />
have been called to help our comrades fight the sometimes-invisible battle that we do our<br />
part to help pull each other up. While serving in the military we learned many ways to<br />
carry our comrades physically. Now it is time for us to help carry each mentally,<br />
emotionally, and spiritually to the winner’s circle. This is exactly what our guest is doing in<br />
her organization.</p>
