This Women's History month, TCWV highlighted and honored you, our members, who have served in the military often without recognition. What a group of remarkable women with very impressive resumes! You are what makes our group the premier women veterans group, not only in Florida, but also in the USA. March was full of activities and accomplishments and April is just as busy. Because of your hard work and commitment to our mission, we keep moving forward to increase our visibility, fostering camaraderie, and enriching the lives of our members and those in our local and state community.
