A lot of female veterans feel invisible, both on active duty and at home. That’s according to a new survey released by the non-profit The Mission Continues. The survey found that female veterans feel a need to prove themselves twice: First to be recognized as warriors by their male peers in the military, and then for their service when they return home. Mary Beth Bruggeman is the southeast executive director for The Mission Continues and a Marine Corps veteran. She joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with more on the survey.
