WHEREAS, the Virginia Women Veterans Program strives to ensure that the needs and concerns of women veterans are understood and addressed and has built strong partnerships with nonprofit and community organizations to provide unique opportunities for its clients; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, That the Virginia Women Veterans Program hereby be commended on the occasion of its third anniversary of service to women veterans in the Commonwealth; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Beverly VanTull, manager of the Virginia Women Veterans Program, as an expression of the House of Delegates’ admiration for the program’s achievements on behalf of the women who have served and sacrificed in defense of the Commonwealth and the nation.
