Every women veteran and service member has stepped forward to serve her nation. Every one of us has challenged society to think outside the norm. Everyone one of us has given up something to serve. It is this commitment that the Cook County VietNow members wanted to honor in their tribute to women veterans. Founded in 1982, VietNow is a national organization of male and female veterans who serve, or have served, in any military branch since 1957.
Memberships are also available for non-veterans.
We also wanted to have a good time and honor the women who have served our country, Woodyard said. So with a lot of hip twisting, knee shacking rock and roll the men and women who came to honor veterans finished the night finished off the evening in fun. Morgenthaler conducts several speaking engagements each year, primarily on leadership. She performs at an annual Memorial Day tribute near her home and has begun teaching others about American service members' contributions. And while its educational for the audience, it is also beneficial to Morgenthaler.
