Happy 230th Birthday to the United States Coast Guard
August 4

Happy Birthday Coast Guard! The National Women Veterans United Salutes Coast Guard Military Women Veterans Who Served.

NWVU Welcomes New Member, Chief Yeoman Retired
Brenda G. Woodfaulk- Parker for 20 years of service in the Coast Guard!

Happy Birthday, Brenda!

Every year, August 4 is celebrated as the U.S. Coast Guard Birthday, commemorating the military organization for its valor and discipline. Since 1790, the U.S. Coast Guard has kept the nation’s waterways safe, playing a critical role in national security.

The U.S. Coast Guard patrols our coasts for drug smugglers, human trafficking and both domestic and international terrorism. As the bad guys (and girls) have gotten more savvy with technology, the Coast Guard has developed sophisticated, effective technology to combat crimes on the water and at our ports. It’s a 24/7 job. Today, let’s give the U.S. Coast Guard the love it deserves.

Chicago Women Leaders is a friendly organization focused on the professional advancement of Metro-Chicago’s women business leaders and rising stars. For safety this year our planning committee decided it would be best to transform the usual yearly in-person event into a 12-month experience beginning with a big opening web conference, then monthly web conferences, leading up to a big finale in-person summit a year from now (likely back to the Ritz or Sheraton Grand Chicago) when we can celebrate in safety and get back to sharing ideas in-person. Registration covers the full year including the finale. Continue reading →

The National Women Veterans United (NWVU) is aware of the difficult times that military women veterans, service members, and other citizens are experiencing due to COVID-19.

NWVU is appealing to military women veterans to contact us and we will go as far as we can to assist you. We have also asked partners to stand with us until grants and other financial avenues are in place, and even then that may not be enough. Those that are hit the hardest are those who were already at risk, homeless and or one paycheck away from losing everything.

We are making phone calls to those that we are aware of and our doors are open for those that need us too.

Greetings,
On behalf of the National Women Veterans United (NWVU), thank you for your support. It is with a heavy heart that (NWVU) must cancel the Campaign15 Conference for Military Women Veterans, due to the COVID-19 national and state mandates. Our heavy heart is for those that are personally affected by the virus.

If you purchased an AD, the book will be available to you in the month of April, and they will also be distributed at the rescheduled Conference. The good news is that NWVU celebrates the 15-year history of making a difference, providing service and preserving our legacy in the Armed Forces. The Conference will be rescheduled and hosted in the future when the mandates have been lifted. Our enthusiasm and excitement to provide a day of honor for military women veterans will be at the same height.

Please keep our nation, troops, medical personnel, and first responders and caretakers in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you again for your support and we look forward to a brighter future for all.

Very Respectfully,
Rochelle Crump, President/Founder
on behalf of the Board of Directors and Members
