Through Our Eyes: The Women Veteran’s Experience

The exhibit currently features portraits of sixteen Veterans from the Sierra Nevada Health Care System’s catchment along with the veteran’s My Life, My Story, a first person narrative life history. The exhibit features a variety of women representing various backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, and the five military branches of service.

The exhibit debuted as part of the Reno is Artown activities that occur throughout the month of July 2018. The exhibit brought members of the community to the Reno VA to view the photos and attend readings of the Veterans My Life, My Story publications. The event remains in the Primary Care Waiting Room here at the Reno VA for employee and patient viewing.

This beautiful exhibit has increased the visibility of women veterans and recognition of the critical role that they performed in service to our country throughout history.

Through Our Eyes will be on display in the Jacobson Interpretive Center from November 2 through November 27.
