"We want every female veteran to feel supported!"

Army vet Brooke Jackson Kahn felt defeated when people always assumed her husband was the former soldier. Discovering she wasnt alone, she created a way for women warriors to feel seen and uplifted

Brooke Jackson Kahn and her husband were at the checkout at their local hardware store. “Do you offer a military discount?” Brooke asked the cashier.

“Of course, we love our military,” the woman replied, then turned to her husband, “Thank you for your service!”

Brooke’s husband raised a hand and pointed toward Brooke. “She’s the veteran,” he said, and not for the first time.

The men in Brooke's family had all served in the military and the women were nurses—but she decided to do both. After joining the Army Reserves and training to be a physician assistant, Brooke went on active duty, serving in Iraq as a combat medic.

After her discharge, Brooke moved to Charleston, Sout Carolina, and worked as a physician’s assistant at a hospital. She married and had two children, but she remained in the Reserves, ready, at a moment's notice, to serve her country.
