This is an ongoing project. TAG Entertainment is producing 30 minute documentary style episodes to air on the Pursuit Channel during military holidays.
The focus is on how the military has become more diverse as well as more inclusive with women.

WOMEN ARE VETERANS, TOO
We weren't just tokens or pretty faces, to decorate your offices and platoons; we weren't dumb, too plain or too stupid to make it in the real world. We've marched your muddy roads, carried and shot your heavy guns. We've been shot at, wounded, and died, and been prisoners of war. We've been active in all services, and risen to high ranks. We've tended your bleeding wounds, and held you when you were dying. We've flown your mighty airplanes and navigated your giant ships. We've fixed your broken engines and driven heavy equipment. We've mailed letters for you, and brought you news from home. We've stood along side of you, without flinching or running away, and continue to stand by you today. We are not asking for special treatment, or that you should go out of your way. We're only asking that you recognize that women are veterans, too. By Lynda K.
