August 2. 1989 Governor Bangerter proclaims Utah Womens Veterans Week Governor Norman Bangerter haa agreed to proclaim the week of Auguat 1 through 5 aa Utah Womens Veterans Week. The proclamation comes at the urging of the National Womens Veterans Conference in recognition of the contributions women have made in the defense of our country. Women veterans currently comprise 4.4 of the total national veteran population, or about 1.4 million. In Utah there are approximately 6.200 women veterans of the state's total veteran population of 166,000, somewhat less than the national average. The largest segment of women veterans is from WWII, with those serving in the Post Vietnam era next Women comprise 12 of post Vietnam era veterans and represent the largest growing segment of the veteran population. The role of women in the military has changed over the past several years, paralleling changes made in the general status of women. No longer restricted to roles as nurses or clerical support personnel, women can now be found in virtually all career fields except those involving direct combat These changes have expanded the opportunities for women in the military thus attracting more female recruits. As veterans, women reenter civilian life with most of the skills as any other person being discharged. However, women veterans are placed at a particular disadvantage. Cathy Fillingim returned home Sunday from Spokane, Wash., where she represented Utah as the queen of Tbps program. Cathy is the daughter of Dortha Ivie. Fred Todd is in the Cedar Crest rest home. His friends and relatives are welcome to visit him. Visitors at the home of Marie and Boyd Winn last week were Don Flowers, West Valley City, Bert and Margene Chew and daughter Mendy, Rock Springs; Jean Conga r and daughter Becky, Garland. LaVem Fisco and son, Tony Fisco, spent some time in Tooele visiting Margaret Smith and other family members during the 24th weekend. They eryoyed the July 24th parade. Craig and Evelyn Ivie, Grand Junction, attended the wedding of Roosevelt News v Many would question womens reasons for entering the military and assign negative stereotypes. However, women are motivated to join the armed forces for mush the same reasons as men: To serve their country, learn new, marketable job skills, meet new people, travel to new places. Upon their return to civilian life, women veterans encounter difficulties much the same as men. Principally among them is a higher rate of unemployment than their counter parts. Recent statistics show women veterans with an unemployment rate of 8.6, while women were unemployed at a 7.2 rate. But female veterans also encounter the same stereotypes they felt as service persons, complicated by, in many cases, the lack bf understanding their veteran status and the many benefits to which they are entitled. The governors proclamation and similar proclamations should help give women veterans a sense of belonging to the veteran community and provide a means for the people of Utah and America to ay thanks for their contributions. n, mother, Eula Von Larsen, drove to Salt Lake Monday and brought her home to Roosevelt when she will spend SjrY ; several weeks.
