A Mile in her boots

A mile in her boot

The womens program for the Jerry L Pettis VA Hospital is
featuring a display to recognise women who served.
There are two displays. One in the main lobby and one on
the 2nd floor next to the cafateeria.
Last year was the first year they did this display and it
featured fifteen women and pairs of boots. This year they
have fourty five pairs of boots.
Each boot is decorated by the women who served and
reflects their service in the service. Next to each boot
reads a little story told by the women vets.
According to the VA's Women Veterans Program manager Lisa
Roybal, she got the idea from a similer program that the
Volunteers of America puts on.
The "she wore these" campain was featured on local KVCR
TV in October of 2014. There is also a video on youtube
featuring Mrs Roybal and the women who were involved with
the boots display.
