May 29 Princess Marie attends Serving in Strength: A Health & Wellness Series conference

On Wednesday, Princess Marie attended the Serving in Strength: A Health & Wellness Series – Brain & Mental Health event in her role as Honorary Board Member of Veteran Coalition International.

The event was organized by the Military Women’s Memorial and is part of their Serving in Strength series which aims to address the unique health needs of military women. The organization is the leading memorial and education center honoring the commitment, contributions, and experiences of Servicewomen.

In her closing remarks, Princess Marie said: “ It’s been very inspiring for me, thank you for including me. Thank you for sharing your stories. I was very moved by your stories. I’ve always had a lot of respect and admiration for all those who served and their families. I think it’s so important that we are together like this to talk about these issues. All the veterans are paving the way for the women who serve today and it’s very important that we also get psychological help and support before being deployed and the families also need to be included in that so they know what they will face. So thank you for your support, thank you for giving back to your community, thank you for speaking out because this really makes a huge difference.”
