Dear Veteran Community,
In celebration of Women’s History Month, the New York City Department of Veterans’ Services salutes our women Veterans for their strength, perseverance, and dedication to our country.
Whether it be on the battlefield, or through science and engineering, healthcare, communications, logistics, operations, and beyond, women have made immense contributions to this nation.
We must also not forget our military spouses, Gold Star Wives and Mothers, caregivers, and all the women who serve as the backbone of our communities. Their compassion and leadership are the glue that holds us together.
Equality in our society has evolved a great deal since those first women patriots served our nation in the 1700’s. Though there is still more work to be done, let us today celebrate how far our women leaders have come, and the hard work that helped them get there.
Thank you, to all of our women in service, for your selflessness and tenacity. We are lucky to live in a world where young girls have strong women to emulate, and we must keep pushing boundaries to ensure equality and opportunity continue on an upward trend. Without question, empowered women leaders will continue to elevate our country to a place of peace and prosperity where future generations of Americans will thrive.
Happy Women’s History Month to all!
With gratitude,
Glenda V. Garcia, Interim Deputy Commissioner of Operations and General Counsel
