If you know whence you came, there are absolutely no limitations to where you can go.” -James Baldwin Deborah Sampson Opha Mae Johnson Genevieve & Lucille Baker Ester Blake The Sacred Twenty The Women’s Veterans Group At The University of Tennessee *Women’s Veteran Group founder Linda Hinkle explains the motivation that led her to found the Wom- en’s Veteran Group at the University of Tennessee. The desire to start a women’s group came from two places. 1) Since I For me, personally, it was just tremendous to be in a room with other started school at Pellissippi, I wanted to be a part of a group that was women that had served. When you are female and in the military, you just for women veterans because women didn’t seem to attend the reg- tend to live inside a personal bubble...or at least I did. I had never talked ular veteran group meetings. So, when I got to UT, this seemed like the to another woman veteran about serving until this group. It really has perfect opportunity with the size of our veteran population. 2) Jayetta been awesome just getting to know the others and watching friendships Rogers and I were super curious how women veterans could hold the bloom from it. We really wanted women veterans to have a voice on GPA level they had at UT without seemingly spending anytime social- campus, especially with the new Veterans Resource Center going in so izing with other veterans. As you may well know, that veterans who are soon. able to socialize with other veterans are more successful academically on campus. We wondered how the women on campus managed to do Linda Hinkle what they did academically and, if we were able to get them into a suc- U.S. Army Veteran cessful group, if that improve things for the women on campus. Female Soldier’s Creed I am a woman in the American Military Forces, I serve the people of the United States of America. I revere the long line of women service members, who by their devotion to duty and sacrifice of self, have made it possible for me to be a member of a service honored and respected, in peace and in war, throughout the world. I am the master of my enemy. My strength and honor propel me, I will never leave a fallen comrade, I represent the fighting spirit of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserves and those who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world. I am a Warrior. I am a woman in the American Military Forces. -Linda Hinkle U.S.Army Veteran *Women veterans across the University of Tennessee community were asked to share their stories, experiences, and views of their time in service. While these stories vary, these women share a unique bond that has carried the female veteran community into 100 years of service and beyond. * Name: Alison Cowie Program: 2nd year DVM in the College of Veterinary Medicine and PhD candidate in Comparative & Experimental Medicine program Entered active duty in the US Army as a 2nd LT in 2004. As an aviation officer, I flew CH-47D, OH58A/C, and TH-67 over the next 13 years. I’m also a military intelligence officer and plan on transferring to veterinary corps once I finish veterinary school. I transferred to the reserves in 2013 and deployed to Afghanistan twice, in 2006-2007, and 2008-2009. I don’t think any one woman has influenced me overall, but rather it’s the full impact of women as a group that’s impacted me in a positive manner. My childhood home is down the street from Susan B. Anthony’s birthplace. I attended an all-girl’s school for high school. In a core college course, I was taught about female issues in Somalia and women’s rights (or the lack thereof) in countries other than my own. By the time I was an Officer in the Army, deployed to Afghanistan, sitting across the room from one of the first female provincial leaders, I fully understood the value of what I had been taught and the importance of taking action. For the past four years, I’ve been working diligently to get two young Afghan women out of their country. I’ve succeeded with one, her arrival having taken place this past October, and am continuing to fight for the other until we succeed. But this isn’t the only situation where I’ve seen women come together. As a future physician and current scientist attending UT College of Veterinary Medicine and completing a PhD, I’m privileged to be surrounded by extraordinarily intelligent women in medical, PhD, and master’s programs. These women support one another with a vigor I haven’t seen since being in Afghanistan on an operating base with 10 other women and over 3000 men. When you’re outnumbered on such a colossal scale, you learn how to support one another no matter what the situation. You also gain an appreciation for being a woman and an unshakable confidence bolstered by those around you. Many similarities may be drawn between the service and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), so I look forward to tak- ing on new challenges in the coming years...with my fellow ladies by my side.

Being a student of Washington Lee myself, I have ran into many people who asked me my opinions on the topic and what I thought the outcome may be. Every time, I said the same thing, "I don't know". After doing a project in our English class and doing research on Lee and other factors that may impact the decision, I have concluded that Washington Lee should not be renamed. This school has a long history of being one of the best schools in Virginia. Changing the name would wipe away our reputation. It is clear that Lee's viewpoints on some topics, like racism, don't align with modern day values or what Washington Lee’s values are. However, that was a century ago, having slaves was acceptable at the time and the majority of the US had the same views. Especially Virginia being a southern state, made his views more accepted.

    For the Air Force, it’s nothing new. Women in Combat By Amy McCullough, News Editor 30 AIR FORCE Magazine / August 2013 ore than 200,000 women serve in the US military—roughly 15 percent of the force. These women lead convoys down Afghanistan’s dangerous dirt roads. They risk their lives every time they diffuse an improvised explosive device. They dodge bullets as they provide medical care to wounded troops. They fl y fi ghter jets and drop bombs. Three female airmen have made the ultimate sacrifi ce since the wars in Iraq andM Afghanistan began. Twenty-three more have been wounded in action. USAF photo TSgt.by Jeffrey Allen After more than a decade of fi ghting two simultaneous counterinsurgency wars, the front lines have become blurred. One thing is clear: Women have proved capable in combat. “It’s clear to all of us that women are contributing in unprecedented ways to the military’s mission of defending the nation,” said then-Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta in January as he announced plans to open up more roles to women in combat. He continued, “They’re serving in a growing number of critical roles on and off the battlefi eld. The fact is that they have become an integral part of our ability to perform our mission.” Panetta said female service members have “demonstrated courage and skill and patriotism” as they “have faced the reality of combat, proven their willing- ness to fi ght and, yes, to die to defend their fellow Americans.” During that same Jan. 24 briefi ng, Panetta and Army Gen.
