This short video never fails to send shivers down my spine… There are nearly 2 million living women veterans in the United States… Women currently make up approximately 10% of the overall veteran population… Veterans make up 14% of the men in America…but among women in America, only 1.5% are veterans. ➡️ In order to meet 1 woman veteran, you may have to meet 69 women. ➡️ To meet just one woman under age 35 who has served in the military, you may have to meet 102 women of that age group. ➡️ The median age of male veterans is 65 years, while the median age of women veterans is 51 years, a difference of 14 years. #veteran #military #veteransday #women #airforce #navy #marines #army #spaceforce #coastguard #nationaldefense #leadership #empowerment

Our offices are closed today, Wednesday, June 19, 2024, in observance of the Juneteenth Holiday. Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when a Union Army general arrived in Texas with 2,000 soldiers and informed over 250,000 Black Americans enslaved in Texas that slavery had been abolished following the conclusion of the Civil War. This was two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had declared that “all persons held as slaves … henceforward shall be free” (and 3 months after Lincoln’s assassination). #BestoftheSeacoast2024 #BestoftheSeacoast2023WinnerBestLawFirm #BestoftheSeacoast2023finalist #Brennanrogerspllchattrick #BestoftheSeacoast2022WinnerBestLawFirm #Bestoftheseacoast2021WinnerBestLawFirm #smiliegrogers #marykathrynbrennan #brennanrogerspllc #pllcrogers #planningforlifestranstions #newenglandestateplanning #myestateplan #estateplanning #maineestateattorney #digitalhereinafter #elderlaw #probate #MaineCare #kennebunk #york #portland #zoom #Juneteenth

The 75th anniversary of President Truman's landmark executive order to desegregate the United States military is a significant moment in our nation's history. On July 26, 1948, Truman issued Executive Order 9981, which declared that "there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion or national origin." This decision was a pivotal step towards greater inclusion and equity within the military, paving the way for the integration of African American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines. It represented a rejection of the longstanding policy of racial segregation that had persisted in the armed forces, challenging deep-seated prejudices and systemic discrimination. Truman's order was a courageous act of moral leadership, recognizing that the principles of democracy and freedom that the military fought to uphold could not be fully realized without dismantling the barriers of racism. This anniversary serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing work required to fulfill the promise of equal opportunity and justice for all, even within the most hallowed institutions of our society. #USMilitaryIntegration #Truman #ExecutiveOrder9981 #CivilRights #EqualOpportunity

As Memorial Day comes around, it's good to remember what the day is really about. It’s not just the start of summer or a time for big sales. This is a day to honor the brave men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military. Their sacrifices are why we get to enjoy so many freedoms every day. So, how can we keep the spirit of Memorial Day alive in our everyday lives? It can be as simple as taking a quiet moment to think about those who gave their lives, doing something to help someone in need, or just saying thanks to someone who’s served. These little things mean a lot and help us keep their memories alive. Memorial Day also encourages us to be like those we're remembering—selfless and brave. We can do that by helping out in our community, standing up for what's right or making a move for our future that we were afraid to do. By living out these values, we honor their legacy and make a positive difference just like they did. Have a meaningful and memorable Memorial Day! #MemorialDay2024 #HonorAndRemember #CourageAndResilience #CommunityStrength #NeverForget #TheWorldChangers #ChangeYourFinancesChangeYourWorld #YouChangeTheWorldChanges

🌟 Celebrating the Trailblazing Legacy of the First African American Soldiers 🎖️🇺🇸 The legacy of the first African American soldiers in the United States military is a testament to bravery, resilience, and the fight for equality. From the American Revolutionary War to the present day, their invaluable contributions have shaped history and paved the way for future generations. These courageous individuals faced adversity and discrimination, yet their commitment to serving their country remained unwavering. The 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, comprised primarily of African-American soldiers during the Civil War, exemplified extraordinary valor and sacrifice. Their bravery and dedication laid the foundation for future advancements in diversity and inclusion within the armed forces. At V3T-TALK, we recognize and honor the pivotal role played by the first African-American soldiers. Their determination, sacrifices, and triumphs continue to inspire us to foster an environment of equality and opportunity. Join us in commemorating the resilience and bravery of the first African American soldiers, acknowledging their pivotal role in shaping the course of history. 🎇🎖️🌍 #AfricanAmericanSoldiers #MilitaryHistory #DiversityandInclusion #Trailblazers #Legacy
