Our Grace, Beauty, Poise and Talents often go unrecognized once we wear our uniforms; this pageant will change that!
The boots are off and the heels are on; no ponytails holders allowed! We are letting our hair down!
The categories will be Interview, Talent, Evening Gown and Military History (yes, no swimsuit).
Regionals will be conducted over the summer; stay tuned for location and spread the word!
We will have 50 female Veterans that will compete from all over the country for the first ever title of Ms. Veteran America!
*Sponsorships are available, but will sell fast!

Proceeds from this event will be donated to provide housing for homeless female Veterans and their children.
