What Women Veterans Need To Know



Guests:
Gundel Metz, Women Veterans Coordinator Wisconsin Dept. of Veterans Affairs
Eve Galanter, Chairwoman Wisconsin Women's Network

Of the 427.000 veterans in Wisconsin, about 28,000 are women. Women serve important roles in all branches of the armed forces, often directly in harms way. Yet too many women veterans don't know they are eligible for the full range of VA benefits and are unaware there are special programs just for them. This program addresses these issues and the challenges facing women veterans today.
