Our Mission

Female Veterans Network was formed to unite female veterans and develop camaraderie. In order to accomplish this, we provide a place to meet where we can discuss the issues and causes that are important and unique to female veterans. To develop solutions for them, as well as promote the sharing, and gathering of knowledge and information regarding female veterans from all branches of the military. Recognize and thank all the women who have served and are serving in the military today. We seek to help female veterans in need as well as be involved in our community. We honor our past and are focused on our future.
