Veterans Shelters…

My commitment to the Horse Show for Veterans is still as strong as ever. My research has lead me to one conclusion, there needs to be a womens only veterans shelter set up somewhere in the greater Boston area.

The current veterans shelters in state in Boston, Worcester and Leeds do not have any womens only facilities. This needs to change due to the nature of the conflict we have been in during the last seven years women have played a larger part than ever.

Women veterans have different needs than male veterans. It is time we recognize this fact.

As for the other facilities expansion is possible on all of them and is an issue that would be addressed after the womens facility has been debated and realized.
