Please extend congratulations to one of our very own Orangewomen! Ann participated in the inaugural Ms. Veteran America Competition. The purpose of this event is to showcase “The Woman Beyond the Uniform”. And paraphrasing from their website, "As a Female Veteran, some of their femininity becomes lost when they wear the uniform, because the have to blend in with the boys. Their grace, poise, beauty and talents become camouflaged during their military service"
Ann made it into the top 10 but more importantly was crowned Mother of the Year...a category that recognizes her honorable service but all the sacrifices she makes not only for her country but for her children as well.The event was held to raise money for Final Salute Inc which provides transitional housing for female veterans and their children for up to two years. They are now listed in the CFC catalog as a charity you may donate to. They are opening their third home on Veterans' Day Weekend in Alexandria. We expect Ann to fully commit to Orangemen soccer so she will stop missing games for these great causes in the near future.
