long cool woman in a white coat

My mom started her military career in the last of the WACs. She frequently runs into insurance issues because people assume she's a spouse rather than a veteran herself.

My aunt served just a year after the WACs were no longer a thing! She makes lists of who served in the military in our family every year and never includes herself (though she served eight years), but does include her brother who only made it through two weeks of training. It's infuriating.
