Lady Veterans Connect | June 2025 Highlights
Celebrating Women Veterans, Community Heroes, and Continued Impact
This June, Lady Veterans Connect (LVC) honors the 77th Anniversary of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act with a special event on June 14 at the Kentucky Historical Society in Frankfort. The event will feature speakers including Dr. Tamika Saxx, a decorated Army veteran and mental health advocate. Dr. Saxx's remarkable military and civilian service exemplifies the resilience and leadership of women veterans.
LVC also spotlights Shirley Hampton, a U.S. Air Force veteran and former Anna’s House resident. After years of homelessness, Shirley's journey of transformation is a powerful testament to healing, strength, and the impact of support programs. She was recently honored as the "Home Town Hero" at the Lexington Legends Military Appreciation Game.

A tribute to Korea-era veterans Mary Phaire and the late June Cummins Hoskins
A call for grant-writing volunteers to sustain and grow LVC’s mission
