   Extractions: Welcome to the home of the skeptical, irrascible, doubting, iconoclastic Captain Critical, aka Captain Barb, whose pontificating will try to amuse, bemuse, irritate and generally annoy anyone bold enough to stay long enough to read the random ramblings of a self appointed distaff critic who will continue to remind you that women are veterans too! Did you know that there are almost two million women veterans? From the American Revolution to Panama, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan, women have served in some way in every conflict. Not that they were legal in the early days. History tells us that thirty three thousand women served in World War One and almost 500,000 took part in World War Two. During the Korean era 120,000 women were in uniform and seven thousand were deployed in theater during Viet Nam. During Desert Storm seven per cent of the total U.S. forces deployed were women - over forty thousand of them. So on these pages you will find the history and accomplishments of those women who have served this country - voluntarily - since it's beginning.

   Extractions: To Contact This Fine Organization, Click Here One good test of a new work of architecture is the degree to which it improves its surroundings. By this measure, the Women in Military Service for America Memorial is a resounding success. Even though it is a bit too reticent, the memorial enhances an already splendid setting in a number of ways. You approach via Memorial Drive, on that unforgettable visual axis between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, with the Greek columns of Arlington House on the green western hill. The new memorial being dedicated today is at the base of the hill. From a distance you would hardly know it is there, for the memorial has been subtly built in front of, on top of and behind an existing structure the elegant semicircular stone retaining wall that for more than six decades has marked the ceremonial entrance to the cemetery. At dusk there is now a soft glow atop the wall, from the electric light coming through the memorial's canted glass roof. Up close, you notice the transformation right away. In front of the wall is a handsome stone-paved plaza with a dark circular pool in the center. The wall itself, left untended for decades, once again shines crisply under the autumn sun. Four of its 11 blind niches have been opened up for stairwells leading to the roof. There, you'll find a newly paved walkway and angled glass "tablets," many engraved with sayings about women's experiences in the military. Behind the wall a new building has been dug into the hillside, housing pertinent displays, a hall of honor, a small auditorium, a shop and a computerized service registry.

    Extractions: by Brooke Ruivivar WASHINGTON (Army News Service, March 22, 2000) - The Women in Military Service for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery currently lists only about 18 percent of all servicewomen and female veterans, something the memorial's staff is working to correct. A register inside the memorial has listings for approximately 300,000 of the 1.8 million women who served in the military. Visitors can type in the name of a servicewoman they know and the database will retrieve the woman's picture, rank and a quote about the most memorable event during her military career. Visitors can obtain a printout of the record for $5. "People will come in and say their mother served - they are very proud to see their mother or grandmother's name in the computer," said retired Brig. Gen. Connie Slewitske, vice president of the memorial's board of directors. "The greatest number of women registered are World War II women. They have been our greatest supporters," she said. One misconception about the register is that it contains only the names of retired servicewomen, Slewitske said. Although the register contains the names of famous women in military history such as Clara Barton the founder of the Red Cross who was known as "the angel of the battlefield" during the Civil War - the register is open to all women who served or are serving.

    Extractions: WOMEN ARE VETERANS, TOO! Welcome to the Women Veterans Website. I am a disabled woman veteran. If it weren't for my disability, I never would've known that the Veterans Administration and it's hospitals were somewhere to go to for any reason. I, like so many other women, didn't know how to get into the system, what options were available to me as a veteran. I was lost. Thanks to the help of many other veterans, I was able to meet the right people in order to help me to work around my disability. This is not an "Oh woe is me" site. This page is being designed to help other female veterans to become aware of the services that are available to them. The VA Hospitals I am Veronica Reilly, USMC Retired. I belong to the American Legion in the state of NY because I want to make a difference for me and those after me to keep our benefits alive. I am trying to make a difference in the treatment that women vets receive when visiting the hospital for out and in patient appointments. Women are encouraged to seek treatment at VA facilities; but not many do. Treatment of women veterans at various facilities throughout the country are not "women" friendly. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've been called Mr. Reilly; but improvements are forthcoming. They are learning that we women know what our benefits are and that we are going to use them. Get involved with your women's coordinator and see if your VA has a Women Veteran's Committee. Give the Coordinator your suggestions for improvements. They can't hurt.
