In his new PBS series Coming Back with Wes Moore, Army veteran Wes Moore explores the often painful process of returning home from combat, including the experience of a frequently forgotten subset of that population -- women. If we underestimate the role of women in combat, were likely to underestimate the difficulty of their transition to civilian life. One of the issues Moore tackles in his PBS show is the frequency of homelessness among veterans who return to the United States, which has taken a toll on on many servicewomen, including those who are mothers. When we talk about veterans issues, we dont think about homeless women or homeless mothers who happen to be veterans, but they are very much part of this conversation, he said.
