“The woman of valor is first and foremost a soldier. She is strong, competent, and loyal to her family, those whom she protects. She is strict when necessary, unbreakable when tested, and hard-working for the sake of her family and community. As strong as she may be, the woman of valor is also more graceful and beautiful than a pearl.” – Yael Eckstein
To affirm women veterans of all ages that they are not alone, and to recognize them for their sacrifices for our freedom.
To inform on the Department of Veteran Affairs programs and benefits available in local facilities.
To present community programs providing assistance to men and women veterans outside of the Department of Veteran Affairs limits.
To form a foundational network of organizations within the community that can cooperate to support our veterans.
The Knoxville Outpatient Clinic has approximately the same amount of women veteran clients as the veteran hospital in Johnson City, TN. Even though there is a large population of women veterans located here currently, there has not recently been an event recognizing our women veterans or informing them on recent VA program changes. We will need the support from not only sponsors but also from veteran advocates like yourself. Thank you for your commitment.
