We believe strong communities are built by people who invest in others. Tonight, we're turning our window lights pink in honor of Dolly Parton, whose legacy extends far beyond her music.

Her example reminds us that lasting impact starts with serving the communities we call home. 🩷

ON THIS DAY | July 27, 1953

On this day in 1953, the Korean War Armistice Agreement was signed, ending three years of active fighting on the Korean Peninsula.

Known as the "Forgotten War," the conflict demanded extraordinary courage from those who served. Among them were nearly 48,700 American women who answered their Nation's call, serving as nurses, medical specialists, communications personnel, intelligence analysts, administrators, and in countless other critical roles throughout the theater and around the world. Their skill, dedication, and compassion saved lives, sustained military operations, and strengthened the force during one of the Cold War's defining conflicts.

Today, on National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, we honor all who served and remember those who never came home. We pay special tribute to the women whose service helped shape history and whose legacy continues to inspire future generations.

The Center for Women Veterans in partnership with the Office of Women’s Health announced the launch of a bold new national effort — Women Veterans Enrollment Initiative, “Boots on the Ground for Boots on the Ground.”

This national initiative aims to help the VA enroll one million women Veterans that are not currently using their VA benefits and services that they have earned and deserve. The summit will also focus on educating and assisting transitioning servicewomen, returning citizens and women Veterans with information on VA health care, benefits, pre-need services, program, and support services that may be new to them.

This initiative will be comprised of five regional summits throughout the United States.

First Stop is the Southwest! This summit will kick off in San Antonio, Texas at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center on Friday, July 24, 2026, and Saturday, July 25, 2026.

Each summit will provide an opportunity for women Veterans to meet with representatives of VA and discuss issues related to their needs in the areas of employment, whole health, mental health, military sexual trauma, su***de prevention, entrepreneurial resources, and end of life planning, among other areas of focus.

As enrolled Boots on the Ground, the Center for Women Veterans needs you to find other Boots on the Ground that are not enrolled with VA and bring them with you to the Summit in July! You can help them feel comfortable getting the support and services that they need.
