Did you know June 12th marks the anniversary of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act, signed by President Harry S. Truman in 1948? This law officially allowed women to serve as regular, permanent members of the U.S. military. While women had fought and served in every American conflict since the Revolutionary War, this was the moment they finally gained official status.
Today, women are the fastest-growing group in the veteran community. Yet, despite these deep historical roots and incredible modern contributions, too many service women and women veterans still have to fight to be seen, heard, and respected when they return to civilian life.
We advocate for them every single day.
You can stand behind them.
Every donation to SWAN directly funds free case management, resource navigation, and advocacy for women veterans and those currently serving.
