The waves of war veterans returning home now includes nearly 2 million women, the highest ever in American history. By 2020, that number is expected to increase by 1 million, but many of these women are returning to an unfamiliar life and to a health care system that does not support them.
Enter Fatigues to Fabulous, a service dedicated to assisting these women through the critical transition back to civilian life. In collaboration with three 501c3 organizations — Grace After Fire, The Society for Women’s Health Research and Business and Professional Women’s Foundation — Fatigues to Fabulous has launched it official PSA. Hosted by the drop dead gorgeous (and uber cool”> model Erin Wasson, the video features five female veterans and sheds a light on the struggles female warriors face in adjusting to life outside the battlefield.
