Team Jennifer Cahill Charities - Supporting Our Female Veterans

Sharing the stories of the women who served. This is just one of the many stories of women in the Military that few have heard.

Jaimie Leonard graduated from West Point in 1997 and began her Army career with the 10th Mountain Division.

Her path wound through the fragile peace of Bosnia in 1999, the dust-choked battles of Iraq in 2005, and the rugged heights of Afghanistan in 2011 and 2013. Across sixteen years of unwavering commitment, she gathered three Bronze Stars and two Meritorious Service Medals—not as trophies, but as quiet testaments to lives steadied by her hand.

In a Memorial Day reflection for her hometown Warwick Advertiser, her words cut clear and close: “Please honor them in deed… Take measure of what you have done for your country and ask yourself if you could have done more.”

On June 8, 2013, in the sun-baked expanse of Paktika Province, Afghanistan, Major Leonard and two fellow Americans fell to insurgents cloaked in the uniforms of allies they had trained. She was then the highest-ranking woman lost in the Global War on Terrorism—a sentinel who guarded the line until its end.

Promoted posthumously to Lieutenant Colonel, she rests now in the gentle slopes of West Point Post Cemetery, her grave a gathering place for echoes of reveille and the measured steps of those who salute her still.

God bless this American hero.

🎉🇺🇸 Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday by Honoring 250 Years of Women Who Served 🇺🇸🎉

For 250 years — long before they had rank, recognition, or even the right to be called veterans — women have been serving this nation. They disguised themselves as men to fight in the Revolution, nursed the wounded in the Civil War, decoded enemy messages in WWI, flew aircraft in WWII, and today lead troops, command ships, and stand watch around the world.

Yet even now, women veterans remain some of the most unseen and unsupported heroes in America.

For our country’s 250th birthday, we’re doing something bold, meaningful, and deeply patriotic:

We’re inviting 250 people to give $250 — one donor for every year women have served this nation.

Your gift becomes part of a living tribute. Your name becomes part of a historic milestone. Your generosity becomes part of a woman veteran’s story of hope.

This isn’t just a fundraiser — it’s a birthday gift to the women who helped build the United States of America.

Join the 250 for 250 Honor Roll. Stand with the women who have always stood for us. Help ensure no woman veteran goes unseen, unheard, or walks alone.

Celebrating 250 years of women in service to the USA

Women veterans who survived Military Sexual Trauma carry invisible wounds — and they deserve a space where they feel safe, believed, and supported. If you’re a survivor reading this today — woman or man — please hear this: you are not alone, you are not forgotten, and you deserve healing.

MST impacts far too many of our nation’s heroes: 1 in 3 women veterans and 1 in 50 male veterans. At TJCC, our mission centers the woman veteran, but our compassion extends to every survivor who has carried this pain in silence. No one should have to walk that road without support.

Women veterans often carry invisible burdens—yet their resilience is extraordinary. At Team Jennifer Cahill Charities, we strive to amplify their voices. What words of encouragement would you share with a woman veteran today?

Thank you Tobias Greenwalt for a fantastic day... Though it was not the turn out we had hoped for, we had a great time.

We have started discussion for a second attempt at a boot camp in May, which would be on Armed Forces Day. We will keep you all aware of the developments.

Please share this. Women veterans for years had to go to community care for these services or were sent to select VA's that were an hour or more away from where they lived to one of the rare VA's that had such services. Gynecological care is still fairly new in the VA system.

Women Veterans can now schedule appointments directly with VA gynecology providers without a referral from a primary care provider.

Here are 3 questions for all of you;

Did you know women veterans have been serving—and sacrificing—for over 200 years, often without recognition? From the women in the revolution, to the Yeomen of WWI to today’s trailblazers, their stories remind us that service knows no gender. Which stories of women veterans inspire you most?

For me, the story of my late wife Jennifer is the one that inspires me most. Her courage reminds me daily why this mission matters. I also think of the countless women veterans whose names we may never know, but whose sacrifices shaped our nation. Their strength deserves to be honored every day. What words of gratitude would you share with a woman veteran?

This article really made me stop and think: PubMed link

No veteran should ever feel alone or hopeless. Sadly, many women veterans—especially those who have endured military sexual trauma—carry invisible wounds that make isolation even heavier.

We can all do something about this. Reach out. Check in. Don’t let “I’m fine” be the end of the conversation. Listen to what’s really being said. Sometimes the smallest act of care can make the biggest difference.

Behind every uniform is a human story, and sometimes those stories include battles we never see. Your call, your message, your presence could be the lifeline someone needs today.
