Agape Life

I served in the United States Army and enjoyed serving my country.  

 

Women have served in the United States Army since 1775. They nursed the ill and wounded, laundered and mended clothing, and cooked for the troops in camp on campaign; services that did not exist among the uniformed personnel within the Army until the 20th Century. Women are an invaluable and essential part of the Army. Currently, women serve in 95 percent of all Army occupations and make up about 15.7 percent of the Active Army. Women continue to have a crucial role in current operations and their sacrifices in this noble effort underscore their dedication and willingness to share great sacrifices.

 

The military sometimes tend to put artificial barriers up causing injustice for women. Never judge people based on their age, gender and race, but based on their capability!  The time has come where women can get to whatever their abilities can take them. And with that, they and countless others in the Army now have that opportunity because of others who paved the way. Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, “you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” – Harriet Tubman  (1820-1913).
