The number of female Veterans using VA health care has doubled in the last decade, making women a significantly larger portion of the Veterans we serve every day. Many VA employees are women Veterans as well. As you celebrate all Veterans for their service to our country this Veterans Day, remember to recognize the women Veterans around you for their contributions.
