HER Story, Inc. is a small nonprofit headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, that honors women veterans by inviting them to share their experiences so their sacrifices are remembered. As an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) charitable organization, it seeks to empower women veterans to recognize their unique journeys and access resources that support healthy, fulfilling lives after service. It pursues its mission through a four-step process designed to unify the woman veteran identity, provide a safe space for storytelling, connect participants with needed resources, and engage the broader community in the reunification effort. Operating within the nonprofit sector, the organization addresses the transition challenges faced by women veterans, noting that many existing programs have been tailored to male service members. 2.2 million women have served in the military, women comprise about 10% of the veteran population, and women veterans are the fastest growing demographic.
