Trump administration bans abortions through Department of Veterans Affairs

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/politics/veterans-affairs-abortion-ban-trump

In March, a website page dedicated to Women’s History, among others, was removed from Arlington National Cemetery’s website. The page afforded visitors the opportunity to quickly access the names, stories, and gravesites specifically of service women interred at Arlington National Cemetery. While that page is no longer available via ANC, you can find a similar page on our website.

As we approach Memorial Day, we encourage our community to visit the graves and share the stories of those who gave their lives for our national security and freedom on a global scale. We also enthusiastically encourage our community to take the time to learn about the servicewomen killed in action, whose service both, preserved our nation’s security and, in many ways, afforded women the rights we have today.

These women survived combat. Then they had to fight for health care.

The Jax Act, a bipartisan bill introduced in the House, seeks to acknowledge women's combat service on secretive missions in Afghanistan.

A MAVEN Salute to Female Veterans

She was born on October 12, 1919, on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation in Promise, South Dakota. She is a member of the Two Kettle Band Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. Marcella LeBeau, now 101 years old, has accomplished enough in her life to fill three centuries of living.

In 1943, she enlisted in the United States Army Nurse Corps to serve in World War II. She left the Army as a First Lieutenant.

1st Lt. LeBeau. We salute you.

All 4 of my grandparents were in WWII, as well as other family relations, including two half-uncles.

Most photos I see are of men in uniform. This year I share with you my maternal grandmother Irene.

She enlisted in the RCAF located in Edmonton, was posted to 7 Service Flying Training School Fort Macleod then No. 3 Calgary in 1944, with the rank of S/O Squadron Officer
