 Women Veterans Recognition Day
In support of Women Veterans Recognition Day on June 12, Truman VA held a women Veteran talent showcase. The event provided a supportive, inclusive environment for women Veterans to perform music, poetry, and storytelling, as well as display visual art and other creative expressions. Well done everyone!
