"Women veterans are the fastest growing population of veterans. We average about 1,000 new veterans every year in South Texas and that's a lot of women. The VA is taking some big steps for their well-being," said Barbara Hector, the women's veterans program manager.
Now the VA recognizing the problem, and creating a solution.
