Scott's View: Women’s History Month Highlights Leader in Benefits for Female Veterans

With the start of Women’s History Month, we are recognizing female veterans who have made a difference. This week, we honor Linda Schwartz, a friend with a long and distinguished history of serving veterans at the state and federal level. 

The daughter of a World War II veteran, Linda served for more than a decade as Connecticut’s Commissioner of Veterans Affairs, the first woman to hold that position. She went on to become an Asst. Secretary at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Over her long career, she has worked tirelessly and made major contributions to a wide range of veterans issues, including  advancing the cause of disabled veterans.

Also, this weekend, let's all remember our World War II veterans and the 80th birthday of the legendary Navy Seabees. The word "Seabee" comes from "CB," the abbreviation of "Construction Battalion," and we recognize their "can do'' attitude. It’s an inspiration to us all!

While the golden rule of travel is usually "book early," we know that military & veteran life doesn't always adhere to a strict schedule. If you are just now finalizing your plans for Hanukkah, Christmas, or New Year's, don't panic. Preparation is still the key to a stress-free vacation, and even at this late stage, knowing where to look can lead to significant savings.

This run-up to the holidays — from mid-December right through Christmas and New Year’s — is when the impulse to connect with friends, family, and loved ones becomes a necessity. For the military community, whose lives are defined by separation, these are the moments you simply can't miss.
