Just a quick note about our trip to DC. We were enthusiastically received by the advisory board of the Center for Women Veterans. It is an advocacy program run within the VA. The idea for the screening was initiated by Dr. Betty Moseley Brown and we received a warm welcome from the center director, Irene Trowell-Harris and the board members who are advocates for women vets from all over the country. They were all extremely enthusiastic about SERVICE and will try to help us get it out to all of you. We were wowed by Colonel Ines White, Military Director DACOWITS. Christina Roof came to support us. She joined us for a bite afterward to celebrate. 
The next day we went to the WREI conference. There were lots of talks on changing military culture to deal with MST and everyone was dismayed that in 20 years there has not been a lot more progress. Some of the presenters were women professors who teach in the officer training military academies. That in itself is good for women and they talked about training men and women about the myths people tell themselves about rape.
